This song, "Making Pies" just seems appropriate today. I don't know of any songwriter who better captures and expresses the pathos of real life than Patty Griffin. One of the best ever IMO.
Did I show you this picture of my sweetheart
Taken of us before the war
Of the Greek and his Italian girl
One Sunday at the shore
We tied our ribbons to the fire escape
They were taken by the birds
Who flew home to the country
As the bombs rained on the world
