Orphan - Jeff Tweedy

Mom, she died like a desert in bloom

Now I feel for her like a missing tooth

She rests between what is far and near

Where I can’t see her

Now he’s gone, my dad’s gone too

I watched until he was an empty room

He rests between how it is and how it seems

Where I can’t see him

I am an orphan

Bring them back to me

I will forgive them

Let them love me again

I’m lonely like I’ve never known

We went as far as love can go

They rest between the edges of my dreams

Where I don’t need them

Listen

I hear them

I am an orphan

Bring them back to me

I will forgive them

Let them love me again
