“The diary that ends too soon”—Goodbye, Phoebe Snow

Farewell to one of the sweet voices of my childhood.

Oh, majesty of life, please don’t escape me.
It’s getting later and the windowshades are drawn.
I’m not the best that I could be
But I’m trying to wait and see
What can happen to a girl in her hometown

Oh, the wilderness
The unmade bed
The aching head
And oh the greying afternoon
The diary that ends too soon

Oh sweet belief in love, I know you’re somewhere
No love is perfect but a true one must exist
It’s getting farther down the year
I hope my autumn eyes will clear
And let me recognize his soul
When we have kissed

—Phoebe Snow “Majesty of Life”
