about

A romantic interest drove down to Florida during winter holiday while I went north to home town on Lake Superior. On my drive I got a strong intuition that she was unwell. Later I found she had to seek emergency aid for severe pain. She read palms & treaded on the occult side of things and I had been reading Colin Wilson's The Occult. My time there at MSU was punctuated with such experiences. The I Ching was often consulted.

lyrics

You went to Florida you left me here

1.
you should have seen the town without you
you would have seen bleary blank eyes
you would have found me on the south side
yearnin & a pinin waitin on you

2.
the neighborhood gossip fell silent
the police listless in their fords
the milk trucks were all facin southward
yearnin & a pinin waitin on you

3.
the city council canceled their meeting
the garbage crew voted to strike
the boarders at Ed's were uneasy
yearnin & a pinin waitin on you

4.
the Red Cedar River stopped flowin
the goat sat down on the hill
the wind stopped short at the stadium
yearnin & a pinin waitin on you - repeat line 1.
