Elliott Smith – Sweet Adeline Lyrics 21 years ago
this is one of my favorite elliott smith songs, too.

it turns out that there is a song from the '30s called "sweet adeline" w/ similar subject matter that he must have been inspired by (much like "clementine") 'cause some of the piano in the original song sounds too similar to this one to be an accident. and if so, he must have had an amazing music collection.

Elliott Smith – A Distorted Reality Is Now a Necessity to Be Free (7'' version) Lyrics 21 years ago
I thought it was

"WIND'S BLOWING now with all it's might
raindrops falling through a starry night
sunrise on a choppy BLUE SEA
waving back at you, not me"
