It was the longest winter
And then the shortest spring
We need an endless summer
I want to spread my wings
I want the wild and the wayward
You seek the subtle and quiet
Maybe I’m too damn selfish
Maybe you’re too damn nice
A stone throat can’t sing
A wooden heart won’t beat
I’m trying to find the balance
Between the sacred and the street
A stone throat can’t sing
A wooden heart won’t beat
I’m gonna meet you in the middle
Between the wanting and the need
I’m gonna fly to the mountains
Where I can wet my beak
In the clear cool waters
Of Texas Creek
I want to take you with me
I want you by my side
Feeling everything at once
And having nothing to hide
A stone throat can’t sing
A wooden heart won’t beat
I’m trying to find the balance
Between the sacred and the street
A stone throat can’t sing
A wooden heart won’t beat
I’m gonna meet you in the middle
Between the wanting and the need
A stone throat can’t sing
A wooden heart won’t beat
A stone throat can’t sing
I’m sick of letting you down
A wooden heart won’t beat
You’re tired of letting me go
A stone throat can’t sing
We’re trying to find the balance
A wooden heart won’t beat

the counter rhythms and syncopations on "So Far Away" are worth the price of admission...
plover is masterful on every level... listen and share this one far and wide, folks...
I love each of them separately, and found my way here via Glen Phillips' other solo work...but together?! WOW!
How about a follow-up? ❤️ Geoffrey Gamble
