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 itself 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
