Sun Kil Moon - Window Sash Weights Lyrics
Two A.M., the birds are chirping outside
And they're keeping me awake
Outside in the backseat of my girlfriend's car, some old rusty window sash weights
Left over from the renovation down below, the old Chinese lady recently died
She's been living in the unit underneath me for 21 years
Gonna take the sash weights to my old house and put them in a circle in the backyard
This winter I'm gonna plant an Italian Pine in the center and let it take root while the rain pours down on it hard
This week, gonna fly to New York and play Sarah Lawrence College
And dust my nylon-string guitar off and play a various selection of songs on it
And something I say will likely be viewed as offensive and cause a student to be alarmed
Or if a college girl is nice to me and I speak to her, it might be misconstrued and I won't be pardoned
Will a nearby voyeuristic blogger read purposefully too deeply into it
Go home, report it on cyber and tug on his dick, and wait for hits
Oh sweet tonight is quiet and the birds outside sing sing sing sing sing sing
And I'm still high from last night, I played with my old friend David J and some nice girls accompanied us on strings
And afterwards we rushed off to see Garland Jeffreys
He sang "New York Skyline," it was one of the most beautiful things that I had ever seen
And after that, gonna record with Nate and Steve in Hoboken
Nate called me yesterday, his wife is pregnant, I told him, "Man, congratulations"
Oh how things change, and that's an interesting part of getting up there in age
Seeing how we all grow older and how our lives and the colors around us change
When I get back, I'm gonna take a trip with my girlfriend down to L.A
Gonna stay at the Cecil hotel for a night, where an alleged girl, allegedly named Lisa Lam, allegedly stayed
It's been on my mind since I think the story of her death was possibly staged
She died at 21 years old in 2013, the height of the internet age
Yet only 2 known photos, plus the one on the elevator with the pixelated face
Not one press conference about how a Canadian's dead body was found on that February day
I once worked at a residential hotel with one fourth the amount of rooms as the Cecil
And the elevators and hallways were always active with hookers and pimps and drug addicts and SSI people
And I'm telling you all that elevator footage of Elisa Lam looks totally rigged
Six hundred rooms and no one walked down the hall and tried to get on that elevator with her
Who in the fuck do you think you're kidding?
Well I'm gonna check in out, I'm gonna ask for the room with the old tenant, Richard Ramirez
I don't spook easy and true crime is fascinating to me and that's my right as an American
My girlfriend said she's totally not into it but she's happy to take me there and drive me home
As long as in the morning we can visit her parents, and I said, great, I liked the bed in the guest room, it's nice and soft
Now let's cut some vague rock lyrics
Please please please please please please please please please please please
La di da di la di da di la di da di la di la di la di la di dii
I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all
I love you too, ghost girl in the elevator, hearing voices in the hall
Bon Jovi's seen a million faces, and he's rocked them all
Those are his words, but I omitted one, and the other two, I installed
You're not quite a million faces, but I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all
Though we are imperfect, though we are human, yes, we are all flawed
I see your face and I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all
I see your face and love you all, love you all, love you all, love you all, love you all
Though I am imperfect, though I am human, though I am flawed
I see all your faces and love you all, love you all, love you all, love you all, love you all
I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all

Sun Kil Moon Window Sash Weights Comments
Great record throughout. Great song.
Stop wallowing in self pity, nerds
Somewhat agree with you, buddy. Everyone knows hurt, you don't need to deny it. Just embracing it sometimes can do absolute wonders.
FYI The Tuscarawas flows into the Muskingum River which flows into the Ohio River which flows into the Mississippi River which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. The Cuyahoga River (among others) flows into the Great Lake (Erie).
It's terrible when you lose your love bc you're not capable of showing it.
I'm sorry!
I wish I knew what to do or say lol
Harrowing.
When I hear this song, my nostalgic memories of my hometown are restored and I cry.
This sounds like it could be been influenced by late 90s Teenage Fanclub, especially the Songs From Northern Britain album
This is a super mellow and chilled track whatever the case
I fucked up a long time ago and that will never go away. If you love someone truly, no matter what, don't give up, don't waiver-- If you do, it'll be the biggest mistake one can own.
Ohio is for lovers
genius. so beautiful
4:42 when he goes down for a change up, its almost too much, so perfect
A little caffeine and modulation, please?
He who speaks first loses. Sit there like an idiot. If they got you they will tell you.
on the red wine again tonight
Is he singing about grounding his sumak?
Graças ao YouTube que podemos ter acesso a essas maravilhas.
Que banda maravilhosa!!!
Kentucky transplant. Just now starting to dig into this. Late to the party and enjoying.
Took a big shit to this
Esp.on social media BS
I'm publicly apologizing to anyone I've ever hurt.
Your comment makes me feel better about the world.
Well I've got job shit to do and this song makes me too emotional.
I have NO idea where or when I heard this for the first time, but I'm glad I did.
KFC Murder Chicks - Tsundere
Well this is gay
Summer evenings lived by cruising aimlessly around with the gang. Hoping to cross your way one last time. The blue hour. Good times.
A primeira musica que ouvi dessa maravilhosa banda me fez amar e conhecer toda obra❤❤❤❤❤
Nathan Cowing brought me here
1.25x playspeed
I don't know what to do or say....
This album is an all time great. So good.
Good song to smoke coke to.
This song gives peace to my mind .. ah..! Grandpa I miss you...
all i can think about is the friends who are gone, who i used to sit with beside the ohio river.
Beautiful Mark.
I discovered this heart piece almost 10 years ago. It's nice to revisit this mood 10 years later.
Now discovered this. Everything in its time.....
Think im 300,000 of the 1.8m views
@geenomoney Have you listened to the album Benji? That is a great Sun Kil Moon album as well.
Will chaeck it out. Thanks for the recommendation !
MARK THANK YOU FOR YOUR BEAUTIFULL SONG TOPO GIGIO.MARCELLO KOZELEK/KASU"VECKTORAZZI...ETCETTERA,ETCH.ETCH,ETC ETC
my favorite song
this song makes me want to fucking cry! my dad loves this song
Love brought me here
I am surprised so many people think this song is about a woman. I thought it was pretty clear it's about his lost love for his hometown. I mean Ohio is mention in the title and chorus
...it is about a woman. It's about the love of his life, whom he lost to cancer.
These lyrics are how I treated the woman I didnt know i loved in youth. I married her a decade later when I tracked her down hundreds of miles away. True story...she's is the One.
WE LOVE YOU MARK
She didn't want me as a moon and I refused to accept that, it wasn't ever true from me and I didn't love her I just wanted to call my wants of her love. You will always miss your true moon no matter what. Not all wounds heal.

This hit close to home. The feels.
Carry me Maine et Loire
i showed this to my girl she liked it
Still love it after these years passed
This just hit my spotify "made for you list" (the alternative version) and i almost cried a fucking river... and i´m not even from Ohio :D
Saddest thing I've ever heard... yet oddly gives me goose bumps for its
beauty... (sorry Lynn)
definitely one of Mark's best songs, it has it all
Killer track...
que wena canción😵💗🤘🏽
I like the comment sections where people share their memories
Ohio by Modest Mouse! Another good track
Please heal her soul
Carry her, my Angel
Ohio
We can't forget to give ourselves a little gratitude either
We can't forget how to love ourselves
Bobby lee brought me here
Just found this today. Love it, after this going to check out some other songs by them!! Kinda reminds me of Galaxy 500! ?
I like to think of this song as a good reason to make music. Right here and now anyway.
Thank you, Mark Kozelek!
METALLICA IS ALSO A VERY GOOD REASON TO MAKE MUSIC GUYS
DONT FORGET THAT
big meta tunnel on high... her words be, bosses met and truth helped... burn for you... sorry... in the lake of the distance dances the ballerina... a swan dressed in black...
大きな道を通りすがるかわいい子供たちが見える
This is the type of song that brings up a beautiful story or a vivid memory from almost every listener.
the 169 thumbs down are from people with no rhythm,,,,, prolly all republicans.
your self flattery betrays you. Mark might not be a republican, not sure the relevance either way, but he is pretty open about his love for America and how "Gentle Moon" was influenced by 9/11. This song has no political involvement. It speaks to such a deep degree about the human condition and regret and fools like you are so surface level you have to involve politics? Sad. Learn what the lyrics mean, dude.
Ultimate sentimental road trip music. Imo
how did he go from this to blue crabcakes?
i love his newer stuff too im just saying they're so different
valid question hahaha
very beautiful
Listen to how similar these two ultimately very different songs start off....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzTUSR3fbfU
A movie called shop girl brought me here and the actual band performs as a cameo.
Sonzeira total!!! 👏👏👏
Weirdly reminds me of silent hill music
me too. i wouldnt think anyone else would ever have though that
This is type of song that grows and changes with me through the years. Something new always pops out of this song as I go through life. I remember first time I heard this beautiful song on this video in 2010. I think it's amazing to see how this song seems to pull more and more people in, almost 15 years after its release. I think you could call this song transcendent.
My grandma did synchronizes anachronistically to this song. So horny...
Muito bom esse som!
Cadê os brasucas?
in Shopgirl movie
Why do you don't sing this one always???? It is perfect. Please, play it, I am gonna see you live, but if I go and you don't sing this one, I will be terribly sad.
The one that got away.....
Great song on a great album. I was hoping to find recordings by Mark K as good as Ghosts is, but I haven't.
Carry me, Wisconsin
So, I was at work and this song came on the CD player off of a compilation, I'm listening to it on a loop....😍
beautiful cut
Carry me, New Jersey
this song fucking MURDERS me, god damn it it's devastatingly perfect
Song good. Singer a jagoff.
kick rocks, lame ass dude.
i wish i was from ohio
I left a life behind in Ohio because my lover was only truly my abuser.
Fuck you, Ohio. Fuck you.
This song is the only reason I ever open iTunes.
A late great!
I have never heard of Sun Kil Moon, until tonight, playing on NPR as I was driving home thru the beautiful Montana mountain night. This music gives me goosebumps and joy! I'm not able to make out the lyrics, but I will try to find a way. Doesn't matter, anyway because the sound is so comforting.
So, the first time I heard this song I like was 18 and I couldn't understand anything he was saying. I just knew it was special. So, I hadn't listened to Sun Kil moon for along time then about when I was 22 I listen to this song again, and I could understand every lyric. It was super Bazaar. How you hear and what you hear in this song will change it's very interesting. I wish I could explain why it happens.
I'm Sorry that
I could never love you back
I could never care enough
In these last days
Her tears
Fell on her pages found me well
On her words I don't know what
To do or say
Wading through
Warm canals and pools clear blue
Where Tuscarawas flow into
The Great Lakes
Riding back
To where the highway met
Dead end tracks
The ground is now cement and glass
And far away
Heal her soul, carry her, my angel, Ohio
Green green youth
What about the sweetness we knew
What about what's good what's true
From those days
Can't count to
All the lovers I've burned through
So why do I still burn for you
I can't say
Sorry that
I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days
Heal her soul, carry her, my angel, Ohio
Children bless
And gather round the bed she rests
So poor and cold in their Midwest
Moon and sun
Flashes bringing on
My open eyes to lightning storm
The touch of mist felt soft, felt warm
On my face
Graving dreams
A million miles ago you seem
A star that I just don't see
Anymore
Words long gone
Lost on journeys we walked on
Lost are voices heard along the way
Sorry for
Never going by your door
Never feeling love like that
Anymore
Heal her soul, carry her, my angel, Ohio
thank you
@Kelly Miller It's "..and gather around the home she rests. So pull and go over there, midwest moon and sun." Also, "'Craving' dreams"
I miss you so much..every single time..
Wicked Timeless music
I’m from the good ol ohio
My soul hurts
