craig finn - plattsburgh (acoustic) lyrics
she said she isn’t spiritual
just really likes the rituals
it helps her think about herself
small and insignificant
he says she matters tons to him
and he can barely sleep some nights
loves her so d+mn much sometimes
it makes him sort of dizzy
and they park down off the causeway
and they brush away the bottles
and he spreads out the blanket
and the breeze blows off the water
and he’s only just in jacksonville
for two years and a couple months
plattsburgh just got strange after
his cousin shot his gun off
and he says, “lisa, i’m not joking
i’d be dead if i didn’t meet you
there’s a few things back in plattsburgh
i just can’t go back to”
he says, “lisa, i’m not kidding
i wanna be your husband
just grant me some forgiveness
someone died that didn’t have to”
she grew up in the area
she’s never been much anywhere
but they fly in from all over
just to be here where we’re sitting
and that seems like a good sign
and that seemed like a reason
and she likes the way the sunshine
makes her hair light in the summer
and she loves to go out dancing
she never eats much dinner
and her first husband played baseball
and the next one was a monster
she’s finally gotten over
the panic and the nightmares
so she can’t even care about
what happened up in plattsburgh
she says, “marvin, why so anxious?
i’m just finally feeling normal
let’s just sit here on this blanket
feel the breeze blow off the water”
the way the wind makes waves in sawgrass
sunshine as it dances on her skin
and when you take him as your savior
he forgives us for our trespasses and sins
when he gets home in the evening
he writes a letter to his cousin
who’s just waiting out a sentence
up in central pennsylvania
he said, “i think you’d like the weather here
the breeze blows off the water
i met a perfect woman
and i’m gonna try to marry her
when you get out, come down here
stay with us until you’re settled
lisa goes to mass on sundays
we’ll get breakfast ready
and when she gets back we’ll surprise her
we’ll sit down at the table
breeze blows off the water
and everything is normal”
