Reason Why

Lyrics
I don't expect my old cat to fall out of the sky. I don't expect you to give my love another try. I don't expect a friendly voice on the other end of this line. All I ever expected was the reason why.
What's the use of you anyway What's the use of me You could never feel it, and I could never see. You moved to New Jersey, and I stayed in New York. I was always the spoon; you were always the fork.

This is lovely. Great guitar picking and the echo on the voice is a perfect choice.

One of the great things about FAWM is the Random button, and I'm so glad to discover this. Great song - great imagery. We all have expectations, but cats falling out of the sky are generally not realistic! Or repaired love affairs. Great ending, too, with "I was always the spoon, you were always the fork". Dylanesque for sure!

Heartbreaker. Your fingerpicking/playing feels like the bubbling of the emotions that your voice just keeps in check. Master of the great progression!
