Five tapes and two CDs

I work at a record store Where people can sell their used CD’s for cash A woman came in one night looking proud yet melancholy Like it took all the spirit she had just to speak without crying She explained that her daughter had passed away That she was getting rid of some of her stuff I Searched through every item meticulously after she had left Finding a lot of rare unsigned bands I hadn’t heard of As well as lot I had and already loved I bought five tapes and a couple CD’s I wanted to tell her it was the best mix of music I had seen That her daughter had beautiful taste that I loved That I could have talked to her daughter for hours That I wish I could have known her That I would gladly pay twice as much out of pocket for everything Just to get to know her the only way possible now Through the things she had loved and left behind But I could only afford the five tapes and two CD’s
