We are looking older today
We are slowly wasting away
Too late to put it right
Too alone to wanna fight
We are gonna bow from the weight
You try to fail, to frail, to frail, to cry
You try to fail, you fail, you fail to try
And I, I heard you call, I heard you call
And I, I saw it all, I saw it all
With eyes, too tired to shed a tear
With eyes too tired to see you here
We are only a day out of mother’s womb
We abide by the pull of the moon
Too unliked to call a friend
Put a burden on to bend
We are giving in to it soon
I've listened to the original edition of this so many times and never tire of it. The vocal style, harmonies, and songwriting are mindblowing. Can't pick a favorite song so I'll just go with the one that's in my head most lately. Definitely recommend the CD. Looking forward to listening to their other stuff. Some guy

I hate to label musicians unless it leads to genuine understanding and these guys defy categories with ease, grace and shared pleasure. Nicholas Taliesin Barrett
