Lyrics:just across from the hospitalstill in sight of the red lightsa couple blocks from the orthodox churchthat's where the old poet livedin his eyeglasses and his necktieat the window looking downon the young men passing byon the fullness of the townfull of them good time gamblersfull of their restless wivesfull of them midnight writersout in the quarter on a friday nightout in the brightness of a friday nightand the big horns blowed and the pianos playedand the music rose to the old man's earsI guess those were the olden daysI guess those were the golden yearsand now the town is emptyempty as a mirrorempty as the harbor and the barber's chairwhere did the old poet go?I asked aroundnobody knowsmaybe I came too earlymaybe I came too lateI'm waiting in the shadows of the scaffoldsof the old cafés where you told me to waitand I've got this lingering feelingit's like I've slipped betweenfingers of the centuryI know you know what I meanI'll be a good time gamblerI'll be a restless wifeI'll be a midnight writerout in the quarter on a friday nightcall me a good time gamblercall me a restless wifecall me a midnight writerout in the quarter on a friday nightout in the brightness of a friday nightcall me the brightness of a friday night

"Empty as a mirror". Strong line with lots of implications. A song about emptiness we feel inside over something intangible that we've lost. Masterpiece.

The piano is so powerful in this song, it really adds the appropriate ambiance and flow to the song.

This songs feels really nightvale-esque to me I can imagine it playing at the Moonlight all night diner. I can imagine someone walking along the paths in Nightvale, into the diner, and for a moment, this song kinda spills out. I dunno. This song just feels really Nightvale to me. I love that, though. c:

Huh. I'm not sure how to say that this song has been my favourite for the last few months now... I mean, there's just an inherent beauty behind it, a soulful wholeness that permeates the composition itself and seeps through in a way that belies its simpleness. Almost perfect song-writng, here.

Empty like the harbor in the middle of the dessert and Telly the barber's chair.

While we're on the subject, "A Little Irony" makes me think of Jake.

She's like a perfect mix of Joni Mitchell and Regina Spektor.
