![]() Strangelet (2007) [ larger cover art ] |
Brown doves on the wire
Do they ever tire
Up in the eggshell sky
I know if it was me
Wings a' take ya far
The burden of flight is our's
Even 'thout the sun in your eyes
Some things are hard to find
You could go the rest of your life
'Till the fountain of youth runs dry
Ever in pursuit of another clue
The sea in response is blue
Take a look around
Have you any doubt
The heart is responding too
Even 'thout the sun in your eyes
Some things are hard to find
You could go the rest of your life
'Till the fountain of youth runs dry
Comes another freeze
All the barren trees
Under the eggshell sky
They may disappear
Splendor of the years
Unknowable without tears
Even 'thout the sun in your eyes
Some things are hard to find
You could go the rest of your life
'Till the fountain of youth runs dry
'Till the fountain of youth runs dry
'Till the fountain of youth runs dry

Comfortable, versatile, and just plain fun. A lot like Grant-Lee Phillips, except that he's got a lot more to offer than just comfort.... Love this song. ![]() |

There's an album called Quark, Strangeness and Charm but quarks are known to exist. You know I don't think there are, but I think there are some that would make some good album/band names. The Sleptons has a nice ring to it. |

I don't know this album, but I have all of Grant Lee Buffalo releases, and 2 or 3 of his solo work - not a bad album in the bunch. |

Grant Lee Phillips was one of my more pleasant music "discoveries" of last year. I knew about him and had heard all the RP songs, but decided to delve into his catalogue a bit. Great stuff. |

Maybe I just don't have the "Country music is listenable" gene. Is this Country? I thought it was jus a nice little Pop song. I don't know if it's a "nice" anything, but no, it ain't country, neither. |
