Just before our love got lost you said I am as constant as a northern star And I said, constant in the darkness
Lyrics
Just before our love got lost you said “I am as constant as a northern star” And I said, “Constantly in the darkness Where’s that at? If you want me I’ll be in the bar”
On the back of a cartoon coaster In the blue TV screen light I drew a map of Canada Oh, Canada With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling And I would still be on my feet Oh, I would still be on my feet
Oh, I am a lonely painter I live in a box of paints I’m frightened by the devil And I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid
I remember that time you told me You said, “Love is touching souls” Surely you touched mine ‘Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time
Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling Still I’d be on my feet I would still be on my feet
I met a woman She had a mouth like yours She knew your life She knew your devils and your deeds And she said, “Go to him, stay with him if you can But be prepared to bleed”
Oh, but you are in my blood You’re my holy wine You’re so bitter Bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling Still I’d be on my feet I would still be on my feet
The rain is falling lightly on the buildings and the cars I’ve said goodbye to city friends, department stores and bars The lights of town are at my back, my heart is full of stars And I’m gonna be a country girl again
Oh yes, I’m gonna be a country girl again With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don’t amount to an acre green And I’m gonna be a country girl again
I spent some time in study, oh, I’ve taken my degrees And memorized my formula, my A’s and B’s and C’s But what I know came long ago and not from such as these And I’m gonna be a country girl again
Oh yes, I’m gonna be a country girl again With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don’t amount to an acre green And I’m gonna be a country girl again
I’ve wandered in the hearts of men looking for the sign But here I might learn happiness, I might learn peace of mind The one who taught my lesson was the soft wind through the pines I’m gonna be a country girl again
Oh yes, I’m gonna be a country girl again With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don’t amount to an acre green And I’m gonna be a country girl again
Oh yes, I’m gonna be a country girl again With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don’t amount to an acre green And I’m gonna be a country girl again
Best of the Night: Billie EilishActually Looks Happier Than Ever
Did Billie Eilish even know she was performing at the Grammys? The way she rocked out while singing “Happier Than Ever,” jumping up and down and smiling at her brother, guitarist-producer Finneas, she seemed like she was owning a moment all her own. Not even pouring rain — or the fact that she would walk away with zero trophies among the seven she was nominated for, an egregious shutout given the year she had — could ruin the good time she was having on top of a prop mobile home as she belted “Just leave me aloooo-ho-ho-hone.” But she didn’t lose herself completely; she still remembered to hold up her T-shirt, repping late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, sharing in her triumph.
Lyrics
When I’m away from you, I’m happier than ever Wish I could explain it better I wish it wasn’t true, hm Give me a day or two to think of something clever To write myself a letter To tell me what to do, mm-mmm
Do you read my interviews? Or do you skip my avenue? (My avenue) When you (when you) said you were passing through Was I even on your way? I knew when I asked you to (when I asked you to) Be cool about what I was telling you You’d do the opposite of what you said you’d do (what you said you’d do) And I’d end up more afraid
Don’t say it isn’t fair You clearly weren’t aware that you made me miserable So if you really wanna know
When I’m away from you (when I’m away from you) I’m happier than ever (happier than ever) Wish I could explain it better (wish I could explain it better) I wish it wasn’t true (wish it wasn’t true), mmm-hmm
You call me again, drunk in your Benz Driving home under the influence You scared me to death, but I’m wasting my breath ‘Cause you only listen to your fucking friends I don’t relate to you I don’t relate to you, no ‘Cause I’d never treat me this shitty You made me hate this city
And I don’t talk shit about you on the internet Never told anyone anything bad ‘Cause that shit’s embarrassing, you were my everything And all that you did was make me fucking sad
So don’t waste the time I don’t have And don’t try to make me feel bad I could talk about every time that you showed up on time But I’d have an empty line ’cause you never did Never paid any mind to my mother or friends So I shut ’em all out for you ’cause I was a kid
You ruined everything good Always said you were misunderstood Made all my moments your own Just fucking leave me alone
Don’t you know I’m no good for you? I’ve learned to lose you, can’t afford to Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin’ But nothin’ ever stops you leavin’
Quiet when I’m comin’ home and I’m on my own I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
Don’t you know too much already? I’ll only hurt you if you let me Call me friend but keep me closer (call me back) And I’ll call you when the party’s over
Quiet when I’m comin’ home and I’m on my own And I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that Yeah, I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
But nothin’ is better sometimes Once we’ve both said our goodbyes Let’s just let it go Let me let you go
Quiet when I’m comin’ home and I’m on my own I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that

Bright Blue Rose
I skimmed across black water, without once submerging Onto the banks of an urban morning That hungers the first light, much much more Than mountains ever do. And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin And emerges unlearned, unscathed, unharmed. For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature And I am the geek with the alchemists stone. For all of you who must discover, for all who seek to understand
For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time And it is the only way Forget-me-nots among the snow, it’s always been and so it goes To ponder his death and his life eternally For all of you who must discover, for all who seek to understand
For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time And it is the only way Forget-me-nots among the snow, it’s always been and so it goes To ponder his death and his life eternally One bright blue rose outlives all those Two thousand years and still it goes To ponder his death and his life eternally
