Blue Ink Lyrics

Lyric discussion by rofl 

Cover art for Blue Ink lyrics by Laura Veirs

I decided to write a comment for every Laura Veirs song because she's such an amazing artist as a singer and a songwriter. I think this song is basically about "I" in the song which I take as a girl writing a letter to her mother after having left her for some time. Now as she's leaving, she wonders why she has left her mother the first place. "And scabby knees wondering why i left you mama".
