I’ve been working on genealogy puzzles, which means the Magical iPod is playing on shuffle. Every so often, a song comes up that I can’t ignore, and this is one of them. It’s one of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard, and it makes me cry every time I hear it.

Neko Case, I Wish I Was the Moon
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I’ve freezing hands and bloodless veins
As numb as I’ve become
I’m so tired, I wish I was the moon tonight
Last night I dreamt I’d forgotten my name
‘Cause I sold my soul
But I woke just the same
I’m so lonely, I wish I was the moon tonight
God bless me I’m a free man
With no place free to go
Paralyzed and collared tight
No pills for what I fear
This is crazy, I wish I was the moon tonight
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I’ve freezing hands and bloodless veins
As numb as I’ve become
I’m so tired, I wish I was the moon tonight
How will you know if you’ve found me at last?
‘Cause I’ll be the one, be the one, be the one
With my heart in my lap
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
And I wish I was the moon tonight’
