about

If You Could See Me Now also has a debt to the South Indian kriti songform. It’s in a nested 3-rhythm. The melody takes Balinese pelog as its scale, with two different notes as home.

lyrics

If you could see me now
you would know how I could grow so thin
everyone you meet looks right in
If you could feel me now
you would know how I could drift from you
everything you leave knows before you’re through
It’s not me, it’s those I love
it’s not me, I am too much for them to take care of
Makes me want to leave my tears behind me now
love’s cold, bright stream pains me now
land wherever you can find me now
I can see your face at night
I can see so clear I think that you are here too
Near enough that you could see me now
you would know how I could grow so thin
everyone you meet looks right in
If you could feel me now
