Lily Talmers - Saudades (Over Now) lyrics

On Tuesdays I get high and think of
All the blessed times we spent together
Friends will come and go, they said
Don’t waste your time in
Prayer for fairer weather
In moments of my grieving
There are finer thoughts I
Always finally come to
That wicked is the mind which comes
Undone in bitter longing to remember
I sear I could’ve loved
You better, faster, wiser, kinder
Longer, stronger, with more skin
That’s over now
For things are just beginning

When I’m needing more
Hope is the loving whore that
I can always go to
She doesn’t mind at all to hear about
The lonely troubles I run into
"Don’t worry, she says, baby, you’ll be fine"
And it is often I believe her
But then she leaves me dry and so I send
My wicked mind to go and find her
Saying I could’ve loved you
Better, faster, wiser, kinder
Longer, stronger with more skin
That’s over now
For things are just beginning
"Don’t worry, " she says, "baby
You will be fine!"
But hope I am not good with numbers
In the worst of my destruction
All my feelings well up in me near eruption
I will burst or I will hurt myself before I
Let you know of what you mean to me
There are no words
At least none that I have heard
That would do proper justice
To your every beauty
I swear I could’ve loved
You better, faster, wiser, kinder
Longer, stronger, with more skin
That’s over now for things are just beginning

I receive you like a dream, and then let go
For all I know is getting better
And wicked is the mind which has resigned
It'self to pine for fairer weather
Perhaps I could’ve loved you better, kinder
Wiser but I’m getting older, living
So I’m giving over now
And into the beginning
