All my life I’ve disappeared
Told myself it would get better
So my wife you lead me here
To Chapel Perilous, I enter
All the blessings of the world
Could not heal the sadness in me
As poppies in the light unfurl
So might I if truth shine near me
Take me
Guide my hand
Take me in
The hand that left its mark on me
Is the only hand to heal me
Or the gates to paradise
Are barred and bolted, all locked to me
Take me
Guide my hand
Take me in
Take me
Guide my hand
Take me in
And the mouth that took the breath from me
And left my tongue a burning desert
I will kiss so hard it bleeds
I will bring the rains to wet it
Take me
Guide my hand
Take me in
Here in Chapel Perilous
Kings are made and lives are ended
And I will learn to trust my love
Until the bonds we severed are mended
Take me
Guide my hand
Take me in
Take me
Guide my hand
Take me in

It takes a Glen Phillips penned Toad backed tune to so enigmatically describe every other breakup you've had.
This just never gets old.

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
