lyrics

All I'm as happy as I've ever been
It's all about the town we're in
how we've met some good friends
at a coffee shop at a gatherin'
of writers and jokers and musicians
in the ancient little city of Albany
the Dutch Hudson River Colony.

All I'm as crazy as I'll ever be
I'm planning for catastrophe
We've planted gardens in the back and some apple trees
and I'm studying how to make electricity
and I don't believe in God as he was taught to me
and I may never tell my family.

All I'm as sad as I will let you see
I'm having a bout of memory
it's fumbling and fleeting out of me
Apartments in Bangkok and Quincy
the people I loved at the Uni
and the rooms full of ghosts and how it felt to be
the places lost to history and how it makes me
and how it makes me!

All I am everything I ought to be!
The residue of my design is me
this place is bending toward me
And there's a size that fits right to my feet
and a girl who walks beside me

And all I'm as worried as I'll ever be
is she clean and healthy?
what's inside her body?
It's been two years since she's had a chance to see
a doctor in her own country.
