about

Sylvia Plath my one true love.

lyrics

I went to the house where you were born
Hoping to find something of yours
a memory perhaps of you and the Bee King
a footprint in the garden from when you still believed
in God and and magic
But he's gone, gone, gone

I imagine all the time I spent in traffic just to get here
is my reaching fingers escape through the wispy veil of death
between us now
but it seems here though you're just a cloud of smoke
from candles just burnt out
8,741 days too soon
You're gone, gone, gone

When you screamed, "Daddy, Daddy you bastard I'm through!"
I thought, "Oh my God! I'm in love with you!
I'd stick my head in an oven to be close to you."

But if God were really out there
wouldn't you still be here?
and if God were really out there
would I write love songs to dead authors?

8,741 days too soon
Too soon

Ian Miles Spokane

Ian Miles is an independent singer-songwriter based out of Spokane, WA.
His Music has been described and "a little cool and a little weird – in a good way" and "very story-telling".
Sometimes mellow and bittersweet; a songbird at your window sill and at other times a thunderous full-throated roar of emotive stomping and hollering like a wild preacher of the end-times!
