IT IS A SMALL ONE, FOR I AM NO COOK
Just listened to this beautiful song, ‘Come In’ from 1993, by The Palace Brothers - which was, of course, the brilliant Will Oldham in disguise. Born in Kentucky, Will has written some of the most delicate, human and mysterious songs out there. We adore Will Oldham, here at The Vampire’s Wife. Love Susie. x

Come In
Come in
For one last dinner
That I will make you
Come in
Come in
It is a small one
For I am no cook
You have a long way
Where you are going
No longer welcome
And I am happy
Yes I am happy
You will be leaving
Things will be changing
For you
You have done much for me
But now you're leaving
It's back to Egypt
That you are going
They are not family
They are not friends
But a false history
And you aren't sorry
