Song lyrics
If I died tomorrow would this song live on forever?
Here is my...unopened letter to a world
that never shall reply 

If I died tomorrow would this song live on forever??
Here is my… unopened letter to a world
that never shall reply, never shall reply

From this second story window I can hear the church bells 
calling out my name. This table is set for one.
Even angels would be homesick in this forsaken town.

On random notes of parchment I'm scrawling my existence,
Dressed in white. This candle radiates throughout the night
And it's never burning out, Never burning out

From this second story window I can hear the children 
down on Main Street.  They're singing their songs tonight.
In the shadows, I will listen to their every movement.

Mr. Higginson, Am I not good enough for the world?
Am I destined only to die the same way that I lived...
In seclusion.

From high up on this mountain I can almost see 
your lonely windowsill. They'll carry you off tonight.
There's a ghost in your old bedroom 
And a candle burning bright.

If I died tomorrow
Would this song live on forever?

This is my least favourite song on So Long, Astoria. It's still quite good though.

I'd believe the ataris are talking about Emily Dickinson, the introverted american poet. Some of the lyrics match her life. She wrote poems, wore white, never left her house... Mr Higginson was a writer who tried to change her poems, but didn't get to publish them. And she never knew her poems would be famous; they were published after her death.
By far, my favorite song from the ataris.
