Kindness made the cut so clean

His albums just get better and better. Here's one of the tracks I'm obsessed with from the newest one, Gossip In The Grain.



Hear me out
Day follows day
Light turns to
clay in my hands

How to explain,
so pristine the pain
Kindness made
the cut so
clean

I still care for you

Hear me out
Wanted me to be
less your lover
than a mirror

Can't you see
what you mean to me?
(Even promises may bleed)

I still care for you

The hours grow
heavy,
and hollow,
cruel as a grave

Open Me
and you'll find
only bones
burned to glass.

I still care for you

—Ray LaMontagne, I Still Care For You
