You Are Worth Your Weight In Sorrow

My favorite song at this moment is Elvis Perkins' Shampoo.  The lyrics make my throat tight everytime I hear them, which is about 137 times a day.  In part ...

I don't want to die
however dark tomorrow may be
bought me a perfect square of sky
you are worth your weight in gold
you are worth your weight in sorrow, baby
though you will never know why

I totally think it's more touching to be worth your weight in sorrow than worth your weight in gold.

Here is a video of him playing the song live.  I have to say, though, I prefer the album's version.
