The mind has so many pictures Why can't I sleep with my eye… - Rufus Wainwright

" "
The mind has so many pictures
Why can't I sleep with my eyes open?
The mind has so many memories
Can you remember what it looks like when I cry?<p>I'm trying, trying to tell you
All that I can in a sweet and velvet tongue
But no words ever could sell you
Sell you on me after all that I have done.

Additional quotes by Rufus Wainwright

One day you will come to Montauk and see your dad playing the piano
And see your other dad wearing glasses
Hope that you will want to stay for a while
Don’t worry I know you’ll have to go

I did go from wanting to be someone now
I'm drunk and wearing flip-flops on Fifth Avenue.

Why am I always on a plane or a fast train?
Oh what a world my parents gave me
Always
Travelin' but not in love.<p>Still I think I'm doin' fine
Wouldn't it be a lovely headline?
Life is
Beautiful on a New York Times.
