about

Still residing in the same house that she and James Taylor built and shared during their marriage from 1972-1981, a present-day Carly Simon still finds it difficult to let go of the home, as well the memories that were made inside its’ walls.

lyrics

Your fishing rod’s still on the bookshelf, where you always kept it
I don’t know if you’d appreciate that or think it’s odd I left it
Our home’s a living monument to love that’s long been dead
The walls are lined with memories that play inside my head and oh

I watched the sunset this morning
Out on the porch where we used to lie
I watched the sunset this morning
And I cried, and I cried

Now all the songs I write about you start in minor keys
And rooms that we once crowded now feel hauntingly empty
I sing one part of duets on a stage with room for two
Then wake up in our bed and tell myself I’m over you but oh

I watched the sunset this morning
Out on the porch where we used to lie
I watched the sunset this morning
And I cried, and I cried

Talk to me, James talk to me
I hear you in the walls and in the tapestry
I feel you in the floorboards and the evening breeze
I hear you everywhere, please can we speak?

I watch the sunset every morning
The darkness never waits for night
As long as I am home
My heart never dares to roam too far from you
I couldn’t leave it if I tried
