All of the Pretty Mistakes

lyrics

I believe in staggering beauty
In lovesick glances, in the perfect song
In small-time crooks and Vonnegut books
In falling asleep when it’s almost dawn

I believe in laughter
In what’s now not what comes after, in swing batter batter
And sometimes I miss and I look back at the catcher
And I think I’m in a movie and I think you’re just an actor

I believe in magic
In music when it’s tragic, in turtledoves
In broken clocks and late-night walks
In the risks people take when they fall in love
In waking up shaking with a fever and cough
The day after you took off
The day – the day after you took off

Of all of the dangerous games that I have played
You’re the cursed one
You’re the cursed one
Of all of the pretty mistakes that I have made
You’re the worst one
You’re the worst one

I believe in the cracks in the ceiling
In capturing the feeling of goodnight but not goodbye
In friends with tunes, in marquee moons
In the changing of seasons in the blink of an eye
In losing it all without warning
In the truth of the morning
In the truth – in the truth of the morning

Of all of the dangerous games that I have played
You’re the cursed one
You’re the cursed one
Of all of the pretty mistakes that I have made
You’re the worst one
You’re the worst one

about

Toronto native Charlotte Cornfield escaped to Montreal at the age of 17. In the fall of 2010 she returned home and buckled ... more down for four months to track her debut full-length effort, Two Horses. The record, a fleshed-out conceptual tour de force, reflects the duality of Cornfield's influences: the deep lyricism and raw emotion of Mitchell mixed with the hooky-ness of New York rock 'n' roll. less
