Lucinda Williams quotes - page 3
My mother passed away in 2004, and then my dad 10 years later. That period in between, I wrote songs like "Death Came”, and then after my father passed away I wrote, "If There's A Heaven” and "If My Love Could Kill”, which I wrote about the Alzheimer's disease that killed my father. There's a lot of dealing with loss, and heavy stuff, and life. It's a lot different of an album than some of my earlier ones, like Essence, when I was still struggling with unrequited love as a younger girl.
Lucinda Williams
I would rather suffer sweet silent solitude,
Deathly defiant from drowning out.
Filthy sounds stumbling, ugly and cruel
Between the lips of your beautiful mouth.Deep down within me words move in phases,
Frozen and still until they decide
To melt and drip over the pages,
Until that moment they live inside.
Lucinda Williams
