Sarah's Song (Lyric) by wilco

Sarah says she waited for the sun for as long as the night was dark. She's been through so much in her life. Seen a lot of things that no one should, but she's still beautiful when she smiles. The graying hair and amethyst eyes have made her shy away from tears. She keeps her picture of Cary Grant and a ring given to her by a lover, and she's still beautiful when she sings. There's something on her mind these days. A little reminder of thirty years. The white dress, the wine and the dance. Sarah stays up 'till dawn every night to see the sun rise on the hills. She shakes off the early morning chill and wraps the robe a little tighter, so she can feel the warmth of life. The balcony in the old hotel is high enough to catch the clouds. She still feels something in her soul for pretty days and careless flings. And she's still beautiful when she smiles. There's something on her mind these days. A little reminder of thirty years. The white dress, the wine and the dance.

I think writing poems about eccentric women is totally great and easy to boot.

Do you know the band Train? One of their songs is entirely about the eccentric things this woman named Virginia or Idaho or something does. If you try to say, "wait, women don't really do those things," Train just says, "well, Virginia does. It's real specific, see?" Trust me, I've tried telling them before and it was an enormous disaster.

But seriously, one of the things Virginia does is "wears high heels when she exercises." And half the people who hear it are like, "oh man, she's exactly like some woman I know! Train is such a great observer of human behavior!" Bullshit. I mean, come on, people! High heels? Jesus!
