Written in the 70s, not released until 1982, this song holds up. It’s devastatingly sad, and impossibly beautiful.
Good morning, my darling, I'm telling you this
To let you know that I'm sorry you're sick
Though, tears of sorrow won't do you no good
I'd be your doctor if only I could
What do want from the liquor store?
Something sour or something sweet?
I'll buy you all that your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more
I'd swim the ocean or the deepest canal
To get to you, darling, just to make you well
There's no place on Earth I wouldn't hasten to go
To cool the fever, this I want you to know
What do want from the liquor store?
Something sour or something sweet?
I'll buy you all that your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more

Sorry that I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days
Her tears fell on her pages
Found me well on her words
I don't know what to do or say
Wading through warm canals and pools clear blue
The Tuscarawas flowed into the Great Lakes
Riding back where the highway met dead tracks
The ground is now cement and glass, so far away
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio
Green, green youth: what about the sweetness we knew?
What about what's good, what's true from those days?
(Can't count to all the lovers I've burnt through
So why do I still burn for you? I can't say
Sorry that I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days) BEST VERSE EVER
Children blessed, gather 'round the home she rests
So pull and go over there Midwest, moon and sun
Flashes bringing on my open eyes to lightning storm
The touch of mist felt soft, felt warm on my face
Gray, vague dreams, a million miles ago, you seem
A star that I just don't see anymore
Words long gone, lost on journeys we walked on
Lost are voices are heard along the way
(Sorry for never going by your door
Never feeling love like that anymore) ahhhh

Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money, callin' everybody, honey
And wind up singin' the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
Brother I can name you a few
Well, I have gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town
That'd like to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars
And I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down
There's a lot of doctors that tell me
That I'd better start slowing it down
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors
So I guess we better have another round
Now I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money, callin' everybody, honey
And wind up singin' the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
Brother I can name you a few
Well, I have gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know I just what I'm gonna do

first single off of ‘Willoughby Tucker, I’ll always love you’ releasing august 8th (early birthday present for me 🤩)
We were in a race to grow up
Yesterday, through today, till tomorrow
But when the plant blew up
A piece of shrapnel flew and slowed that part of you
The doctors gave you until the end of the night
But not till daylight, not till daylight
Time passes slower in the flicker of a hospital light
I pray the race is worth the fight
Made a fool of myself down on Tennessee Street
It wasn't pretty like the movies, it was ugly like what they all did to me
And they did to me what I wouldn't do to anyone
You know that's for sure
Tell me all the time not to worry
And think of all the time that I'll have with you
When I won't wake up on my own, wake up on my own
Held close all the time, knowing I'm half of you
Lay me down where the trees bend low
Put me down where the greenery stings
I can hear them singing
To love me is to suffer me
And I believe it
When I lay with you in that auld lang room
Wishing I was the way you say that you are
You'll go fight a war, I'll go missing
I warned you, for me, it's not that hard
That picture on the wall you're scared of looks just like you
I want to bleed, I want to hurt the way that boys do
Maybe you're right and we should stop watching the news
'Cause, baby, I've never seen brown eyes look so blue
Tell me all the time not to worry (not to worry)
And think of all the time that I'll have with you
When I won't wake up on my own, wake up on my own
Held close all the time, knowing I'm half of you
Think of us inside after the wedding (after the wedding)
Suffering the while to lie a time or two
Where we won't wake up on our own, wake up on our own
Held close all the time, knowing
This was all for you
Think of us inside
Gardenias on the tile
Where it makes no difference who held back from who
(To love me is to suffer me)

Want to wrap this app in love and care so it doesn’t become like Twitter.
this website is full of people recommending (mostly) great things, sharing ideas, and things they love. i logged onto twitter and immediately feel horrible so i switched tabs back to here (and yes i am using desktop!)

There is no love without loss
No joy without pain
No life without death
A fulfilling life doesn’t pretend to have it all while keeping the toughest stuff out of view.
