![]() White Lies For Dark Times (2009) [ larger cover art ] |
Now that you're grown up
You can finally learn to be a child
We made it to the end of the world
But we'll never make it out alive
Skin thin
I breath out you breath in
But the days seem so long
Skin thin
Blood again
It's all I can do to hold on
We're just skin thin
Always knew if we didn't have each other
We'd have nothing at all
But you were always brave enough
To live like you could never fall
Skin thin
I breath out you breath in
But the days seem so long
Skin thin
Blood again
It's all I can do to hold on
Now that we've grown up
Can finally learn to be a child
With good friends behind me
But ghosts up ahead for miles and miles
Skin thin
I breath out you breath in
But the days seem so long
Skin thin
Blood again
It's all I can do to hold on

| gypsyman (just passing through....) | Posted: Feb 25, 2013 - 09:09 Almost thought this was Ben Harper for awhile there.... |
| anotherdreamer | Posted: Jun 19, 2012 - 02:48 Nice tune but almost cannot stand how Ben is singing here. |

| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Sep 19, 2009 - 08:17 Good song off a great album. There are definitely better choices on this album and god knows how many in his back catalogue. |

| robbeek (the foothills above El Lay....) | Posted: Jul 03, 2009 - 10:20 Interesting record, check it out. Ben's got three young men from Texas (Relentless7) backing him up this time around. Those boys can rock! The heavier tracks are much more interesting than this one. |

| Danimal174 (Upstate South Carolina) | Posted: Jun 16, 2009 - 10:09 Overall, this CD seems to be hit-or-miss. I've heard a few different tracks off of it, and have really liked what I've heard, with the exception of one or two tracks, which I didn't really care for at all. This one, I like. Solid effort. An "8" after my first listen.
