Amy Lyrics
i don't know
why i let go
i want to be your friend
flowers grow through my window
and i love you again
oh, i love you
oh, when you laid me down
into your beautiful garden
flowers in the love of my arms
it's god shining through
to me i guess
it's god shining through
to me i guess
oh, i love you amy
do you still love me?
i go to the places
where we used to go
i feel sad
i am out here
looking for you
sometimes i pretend
oh, i miss you
oh, when you laid me down
into your beautiful garden
flowers in the love of my arms
is god playing evil
tricks on me?
is god playing evil
tricks on me?
oh, i love you amy
do you still love me?
oh, i love you
oh, when you laid me down
into your beautiful garden
flowers in the love of my arms
is god playing evil
tricks on me?
is god playing evil
tricks on me?
oh, i love you amy
do you still love me?
why i let go
i want to be your friend
flowers grow through my window
and i love you again
oh, when you laid me down
into your beautiful garden
flowers in the love of my arms
it's god shining through
to me i guess
it's god shining through
to me i guess
do you still love me?
where we used to go
i feel sad
i am out here
looking for you
sometimes i pretend
oh, when you laid me down
into your beautiful garden
flowers in the love of my arms
is god playing evil
tricks on me?
is god playing evil
tricks on me?
do you still love me?
oh, when you laid me down
into your beautiful garden
flowers in the love of my arms
is god playing evil
tricks on me?
is god playing evil
tricks on me?
oh, i love you amy
do you still love me?

Amy in this case is not a fantasy name. Adams wrote the "Heartbreaker" album shortly after the girl he'd moved to New York with, Chicagoan indie-rock publicist Amy Lombardi, decided to walk out on him. She's the "Heartbreaker" of the title.
Ryan having second thoughts about a love gone by and wondering if his ex is thinking about him too. It captures longing so accurately - you feel sad and curious, but do not indulge the curiousity because it would mean admitting that you're not over someone and not knowing if the other is thinking the same. So you stake out your old haunts hoping to bump into her and live with the memories in the meantime. When I was younger I remember these birthday cards that when opened sang happy birthday and included your name. You could buy them to say your name and feel like it was personalized for me. I think it would be humorous to do the same with this song and be able to insert the name of your ex at the appropriate spot. Like oh i love you Charlette do you still love me? and send it to your ex. Or send an email and let your ex click a survey question about her feelings of love - no more uncertainty, the survey says she's over you. It just seems so universal to pine over a lost love but not know what to do about it.
One line intrigues me; it is the one that goes "flowers in the love of my arms." Who is holding the flowers? Him or the woman?

Just the phrase "love of my arms" is interesting. I'm thinking "love of my arms" refers to the woman. The woman is holding the flowers and he in turn is holding the woman.

Well, there it is! I guess I just wrote myself through it.

I just heard this song for the first time yesterday - a friend of mine told me to download it and I really enjoyed it. I agree with tubesocks (ps good name!) about the general ideas of the song...unfortunately, my name happens to be Amy so whenever I now listen to this song it makes me think of past relationships and wonder if anybody I know still feels like that about me...kind of a nice idea...
me too, my names amy too.... crazyyy. anyways ryan adams is a god, gorgeous music.
I love this song... Easily one of the most beautiful songs ever penned by Mr. Adams.
Beautiful song. Regretting letting someone go, realising just how much you've lost, and loving them so much you'll just settle for being their friend if that's all they can be to you now...but it's probably too late for even that.
She is dead to him. At least he attempts to put on that strong poker faced notion. He tries letting go, but he can't. "Flowers in the love of my arms" - All I see is "Amy" in a casket, holding those flowers. They were dead from the start.
