I rediscovered a little song by Josh Ritter while cleaning up my place this morning. It came as a little bonus track with his last album, but I didn't pay much attention to it at first (I suppose I was too enthralled with the genius of the full-length album at the time). However, when I heard it again this morning, I fell in love. It's very Cohen-esque and incredibly beautiful. I can't believe that I didn't adore it the first time I heart it, but it just goes to show that some things really do deserve a second chance.

Naked as a Window

How hard for the covers to be pulled from their slumbers
but a ghost never gives up its sheet
Tell me, is it the same for the rattling chains or whatever you wear when you sleep?
You remember the time I told you take off your clothes?
You were naked as a window
But I'll take all that nothing over nothing at all

Oh I'm just a hallway for ceilings and walls, babe
And emptiness all the way through
You know you're asking too much to be held and not touched
but somehow that's just what you do
You remember the time I told you take off your clothes?
You were naked as a window
But I'll take all that nothing over nothing at all
Yeah I'll take all that nothing over nothing, over nothing at all

-Josh Ritter
