1.	Song for St. Valentine 02:40	lyrics	buy track
they left you lying headless on the Via Flaminia, your blood splayed out in the mud like a crown. the horses reeled and pawed the earth at the smell of it. you're food for the wild dogs & the ravens now. o unfeeling saint of all our favorite feelings, o bloodied saint of bloodless letter-love: would you pray for us? they left you lying headless on the Via Flaminia, your blood splayed out in the mud like a crown. the winter sun pulled back the rain like a bridal veil as your love-letter unfolded itself on the ground.

the dried-up leaves are scraping the gutter for you. the dusty grass is shivering in the last light for you. the sun is reddening and falling for you. the clay and the ditchwater are freezing for you, patiently, patiently. the park and the run-down buildings, the stars and clouds and trees: they all remember you. they're all watching and waiting for you. and the trees will clap for you, and the clouds roll back for you, and the stars go out for you; they all remember you. they're all watching and waiting for you patiently, patiently.
