i can see the train, it's heading down the tracks
to take you away from me, to take you back
visions of this one last sunset
leaving me to stand alone

how could you leave, without goodbye
and leave me staring at the sky
how could you leave, without goodbye
(how could you leave) (never said goodbye)
and leave me staring at the lonely crimson sky

so now i'm staring down the train tracks
that took you far away
and suddenly a million things burst through my mind
a million things i want to say

how could you leave, without goodbye
and leave me staring at the sky
how could you leave, without goodbye
(how could you leave) (never said goodbye)
and leave me staring at the lonely crimson sky

maybe... it's what i asked for

the sun is setting down behind the autumn scene
where trees will soon be bare
my heart's been torn to shreds today
but nature doesn't care (so would you care)

how could you leave, without goodbye
(how could you leave) (never said goodbye)
and leave me staring at the lonely crimson sky
how could you leave, without goodbye
(how could you leave) (never said goodbye)
and leave me staring at the lonely crimson sky

this one last sunset... goodbye

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
