lyrics

Akron, Ohio, winter of ’89
That’s what it says on the back of the snapshot
Under the word “Valentine”
It doesn’t say she sang Elvis
While rolling out the biscuit dough
It doesn’t tell you that we lost her
To the bourbon long ago

Valentine, does it matter that we miss you?
Valentine, do you think of home at all?
Valentine

Glass on the nightstand, hair in a mess
She’s laughing ‘bout something somebody said
She’s in her velvet party dress
Half the shot is turning white now
Like it’s been sitting in the sun
But she still blazes like a larkspur
Just barely 21

Valentine, does it matter that we miss you?
Valentine, do you think of home at all?
Valentine

I stuck it a novel, her favorite paperback
I left it on a shelf in a room I never use
With Dad’s last can of Kodiak
Valentine, did you sense it
When I pulled it out today?
Or like that old snapshot
Have you faded away?
