his songs telling keenly observed and eloquently articulated character studies that sail or rend your heart and mind.\u00a0 <em><strong>The Tattooed Woman<\/strong><\/em> is no exception.\u00a0 Taken from his superb album <strong>Say Grace<\/strong> (one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelefortreport.com\/blog\/2014-01\/the-top-15-albums-of-2013\/\"><strong>Top 15 Albums of 2013<\/strong><\/a>), <strong>Baker<\/strong> sings in the song of a disconsolate woman and her uneasy lover and his foreboding forecast (of rain, trouble, something terribly tenebrous).\u00a0 It gets under your skin&#8230;like a tattoo.\u00a0 Watch below as <strong>Baker, Carrie Elkin<\/strong> and <strong>Chip Dolan<\/strong> performed the song last September at <strong>In The Woods<\/strong> in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>Rain is coming, that&#8217;s how it feels.<\/p>\n<p>The song&#8217;s lyrics follow the video.<\/p>\n<p>To see another side of <strong>Baker&#8217;s<\/strong> songs, watch\/listen
