[Okkervil River - Savannah Smiles lyrics]
Midnight late last week, my daughter's diary
Didn't know what it might be
Until it was open
I only read one page and then put it away
Talk about your big mistakes, hey Shan
Nice going
Photos show no tears in her eyes
All those pretty years gone by
I just cannot believe could do
That to a child
Shannon just flew down four days back in town
She sleeps in, lies around
And then she goes out
And then one day she's gone
What should I have done?
Joe turns the TV on with all the lights out
Photos on the wall, she's my baby
She's my baby doll
Is she someone I don't know at
All? Is she someone I betrayed?
It's a grey day in the fall and
The radio's singing down the hall
And I rise to turn it off cause
All I'm seeing is her face, age eight
Didn't know what it might be
Until it was open
I only read one page and then put it away
Talk about your big mistakes, hey Shan
Nice going
Photos show no tears in her eyes
All those pretty years gone by
I just cannot believe could do
That to a child
Shannon just flew down four days back in town
She sleeps in, lies around
And then she goes out
And then one day she's gone
What should I have done?
Joe turns the TV on with all the lights out
Photos on the wall, she's my baby
She's my baby doll
Is she someone I don't know at
All? Is she someone I betrayed?
It's a grey day in the fall and
The radio's singing down the hall
And I rise to turn it off cause
All I'm seeing is her face, age eight
