lyrics

Goodnight Sylvia (For Sylvia Plath)

Your best friend was the typewriter
For your sanity you were always fighting
There was nothing anyone could do for you

All around you a shadow kept on growing
You grew tired of that awful rowing
Against the waves of paranoia

I’ll never know the pain you felt inside
I’m not gonna judge you for your suicide
Goodnight, goodnight Sylvia

On the back of your book I saw your photograph
So sad and serious I wondered if you ever laughed
Laughed at life…
