Words and Music: Glen Phillips (Umami Music / ASCAP)
lyrics
I could end this now
I could leave you cold
I could break your heart
With a single blow
I know your softest spot
You shouldn't trust me so
Oh it would be so easy
I could end this now
I know a song so sad
That when you heard it sung
You could never return
To the life you had known
In your dreams it would haunt you
Like a siren's call
It's on the tip of my tongue
I could end this all
Oh love, oh fate
I'd save my soul
But it's too late
I have a knife so sharp
That when it kissed your breast
You wouldn't feel it cutting
Just a wind through your chest
I have a heart so dark
As the blackest coal
But then you brought this spark
Sent it raging through my soul
I should end this
I should end this now
This album has many of my favorite tracks of Glen’s: Shorn (probably my favorite song, period), solo version of Enough, No Blue Sky (I LOVE Shawn Mullins’ version, but this is exquisite) and his version of American Tune is delightful. adriannecausey
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
