This page is dedicated to Elliott Smith, in my opinion one of the greatest and most underrated guitar players and songwriters.

R.I.P.

 

Haven’t laughed this hard in a long time

Better stop now before I start crying

Go off to sleep in the sunshine

I don’t wanna see a day when it’s dying

 

She’s a sight to see

She’s good to me

But I’m already somebody’s baby

She’s a pretty thing

She knows everything

But I’m already somebody’s baby

 

You don’t deserve to be lonely

But those drugs you’ve got won’t make you feel better

Pretty soon you’ll find it’s the only

Little part of your life you’re keeping together

 

I’m nice to you

I could make it through

But you’re already somebody’s baby

I could make you smile if you stayed  while

But how long can you stay with me baby

 

Because your candle burns too bright

I almost forgot it was twilight

Even if I think that you are right

I’m tired of being down I got no fight

 

You’re beautiful

And it’s wonderful

But I’m already somebody’s baby

And if I went with you

I’d disappoint you too

But I’m already somebody’s baby
