VERSE ONE
New confusions have left you here
Thoughts are blurred and unclear
Dreams once held so near
Have begun to disappear
So, let them fly to the wind
Someone new will take them in
Someone new will be their friend
CHORUS
And what about my ears
And what about my mouth
And what about my gentle touch
Help to warm your darkened nights
I'll help you fight your fears
And hold you through the bouts
That love to draw you in the ring
And smother you with doubt

VERSE ONE
Mix reservation
With the feelings that we've had
Add the frustration
Of a world that has gone bad
Still we must keep on churning
We must move right along
There is no returning
That's yesterday's song
CHORUS
And what about my ears
And what about my mouth
And what about my gentle touch
Help to warm your darkened nights
I'll help you fight your fears
And hold you through the bouts
That love to draw you in the ring
And smother you
And smother me
And smother you
And smother me
And smother you
And smother me

I had a sense of being on a back porch of a farm house after a long day. Possibly a fresh disagreement with my lady but finding the moment for making up.

A very good listen from start to finish.. I think you nailed the genre for this track 100%. It is most definitely a progressive sounding alternative folk song. Lots of people put their songs under this genre but do not belong there. I cannot say that for this track and I mean that with the utmost respect.
Good job

Very nice voice and guitar

This is a great song, I love the guitar work, beautiful lyrics

Very beautiful vocal recording, excellent voice and musically gifted. Acoustic guitar also recorded very well and played like a pro! A little John Denver meets Jim Croce.

Beautiful lyrics - "smother you with doubt" is such a great phrase. Beautiful quality recording.

What a beautiful song and recording! Fabulous instrumental performances and arrangement. Tasteful, emotional vocal performance. Superb recording. Lovely imagery. Wow! Great song.

Nice time signature changes... waltz common waltz... I like that a lot, but many complain to me when I do it... so I wanted to mention how I like it here...
