AKA The Makeup Song: "This song is based on a true story about a winter flirtation with the bagel cart guy who had to go back to Afghanistan to fight in the war"

lyrics

SCENE ONE, A DARKENED SKY AND ICE IS FLYING
IT'S IN MY EYES, NO COLOR AND NO LIGHT
AND YET YOU STILL FIND A REASON TO SMILE

SCENE TWO IN SEVEN MOONS, THE WATER DRIZZLING AND
SOAKING THROUGH MY COLLAR, SO WHY BOTHER
WALKING FAST AND RUNNING OUT OF BREATH

‘I’M NOT STAYING HERE”, HE LET THAT ROLL OFF HIS SHOULDER
“WELL, YOU KNOW IT’S FAMILY” HE SAID
AND COULD SEE HIM LAUGHING IN HIS KITCHEN AT HOME

“WELL AT LEAST YOU’VE GOT A PLAN”, WAS MY REPLY
“MORE CHOICES, MUCH LESS DANGEROUS-
AN EDUCATION, MINUS THE GUN FIRE…”

THE SOUTH IS SOFTENING YOU
THE SOUTH IS SOFTENING YOU
THE SOUTH IS SOFTENING YOU

SCENE ONE, A DARKENED SKY AND ICE IS FLYING
IT'S IN MY EYES, NO COLOR AND NO LIGHT
AND YET YOU STILL FIND A REASON TO SMILE
