The Village In The Morning Lyrics

Cover art for The Village In The Morning lyrics by Magnetic Fields, The

this is one of the ultimate morning after a one-night stand songs where the narrator is completely infatuated with the subject and knows that their 'window' with them is closing.

the way stephin sings 'whisper goodbye' to fade is so haunting and moving.

painfully, i first realised the power of this song after one such one-night encounter. how apt. totally captured how i felt. stephin merritt has a habit of doing that.

i would really love an explanation for avenue pi and old queen river. i take it they have a particular meaning to 'village' new yorkers?
