Annie Decatur Danielewski (born March 23, 1968), professionally known as Poe, is a American singer and songwriter. She first hit the modern rock charts in the mid-1990s. Poe is the daughter of Polish film director Tad Danielewski and his wife, Priscilla Machold. She is also the sister of author Mark Z. Danielewski. Poe's musical style is an unusual blend of folk, rock, and electronica elements backing intimate lyrical compositions. Poe is known to have a dating relationship with prized painter, Peter Max, a relationship some say may have been set-up by her management for publicity. Wikipedia
Lyrics
Poe - If You Were Here
Click to view
Daughter: If you were here I know that you would Truly be amazed At what's become of what you made If you were here You would know how I treasured every day How every single word you spoke Echoes in me like a memory of hope
When you were here You could not feel the value that I placed On every look that crossed your face When you were here I did not know just how I had embraced All that you hid behind your face Could not hide from me 'cause it hid in me too
Father: How are you tiger? This is great fun, to be able to talk with you, like this--in fact I'm going to do it more often
Daughter: Now that I'm here I hear you And wonder if maybe you can hear yourself
Father: (laughs)
Daughter: Ringing in me now that you're somewhere else
Father: I miss you a lot
Daughter: 'Cause I hear your strange music gentle and true
Father: I'm sharing with you some of my reflections
Daughter: Singing inside me with the best parts of you Now that I'm here
Father: But I'm so proud of everything you do there I love you most
Daughter: I hope somewhere you hear them too
Father: Next time I see you you'll proudly sing it back to me
I love Poe!!!!
