lots of howlers in the transcribed lyrics - hopefully my corrections have gone through. i love this one particularly because it feels more like a short story than some of his other songs, and he really is a terrific storyteller. (if you can see him live, DO IT. worth every goddamn penny.) also, that couplet in the chorus gets me every time:

you don't get over a broken heart / you just learn to carry it gracefully
