I Don't Really Mind

from Backpacker Blues (LP) by Bee Appleseed

/

lyrics

She was an architect in the world she created
An artist in all she could see
And now she designs for the angels and the peasants
In hopes that they may soon set her free
And I slept in her garden of eden
I lied naked in her stillness of time
And now she's left me longing for a moment
Oh but I don't really mind
Oh but I don't really mind

Now in my place lies the ruins of a flower
And hourglass calling me back in the night
For her letters, they continue to grow older
When her words are all I can find
And these memories are all I remember
My fingertips on the silhouette of her spine
For nostalgia is the only world I can enter
Oh but I don't really mind
Oh but I don't really mind

I don't really mind being gone with nothing but my thoughts
As long as one of them is thinking of her
I don't really mind being gone with nothing but my thoughts
As long as one of them is thinking of her

And does my scent still cling to her pillow?
Or was it washed away by the tears from her eyes?
Well, there's no need to mimic a weeping willow
For a star that was just shooting by
Yet there's still hope that love may be constant
For the thought is not too hard to surmise
And now we're left to linger at a distance
Oh but I don't really mind
Oh but I don't really mind

I don't really mind being gone with nothing but my thoughts
As long as one of them is thinking of her
I don't really mind being gone with nothing but my thoughts
As long as one of them is thinking of her
I don't really mind being gone with nothing but my thoughts
As long as one of them is thinking of her
I don't really mind being gone with nothing but my thoughts
As long as one of them is thinking of her
