We always look tired
But we get too much sleep
Dreams give no rest
When they're the same as the day that precedes
We want to see angels
And touch their wings
But clouds never part any more
It's just one of those things
i need you now
It frightens me
But i'm out of touch
And i'm dying to be
Naked and happy
For all the world to see me
Shorn
Naked and happy
And no-one laughing at me
Shorn
We're wells of compassion
Except to ourselves
We are ugly in the mirror
Beautiful to the ones we love
i need you now
It frightens me
But i'm out of touch
And i'm dying to be
Naked and happy
For all the world to see me
Shorn
Naked and happy
And no-one laughing at me
Shorn
Let me tell you something that'll shock you like hell
I have it on authority that we are both alive and well
I know too much
Need to start forgetting
'Cause i'm out of touch
And i'm dying to be
Naked and happy
For all the world to see me
Shorn
Naked and happy
And no-one laughing at me
Shorn
I've made myself sick
And i've made myself sad
Letting go of everything
Was the best idea i've ever had

Words and Music by Glen Phillips (Umami Music, ASCAP)
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
