Astair your glare is killing me
Astair in skies of blue
The signs you wear are making me
So confused

But the mountains and the trees
Are they just what you need
Or are they less than what
You'd expect to see

And if you're leaving well come
Give me reason why I let you down
Before you turn around now now
Before you turn around

Astair you're there and I'm still here
I swear I'm so confused
The signs you wear are making me
Feel like I'm the one to lose

But the canyons and the seas
Are they just what you need
Or are they less than what
You'd expect to see

And if you're leaving well come
Give me reason why I let you down
Before you turn around now, now

Before you turn around

But the mountains and the trees
Are they what you perceive
Or are they less than what
You'd expect to see

And if you're leaving well come
Give me reason why I let you down
Before you turn around now, now
Before you turn around

Thought at first this was a song from Donovan I'd never heard before, but in retrospect, it's not offbeat enough.

This must be BULLSHIT-SONG-Nr.-9...

Can you please play some music, Bill?

I'll swear that RP is trying to sedate its audience. Two lullabies now this - I can feel a coma coming on. 3 from the narcoleptic Nottingham jury

Glad to hear Matt Costa on RP! I've always thought I'd heard a little bit of a Dylan lick in this song; can the collective brainpower of listeners help me figure out what that is?

(or just confirm that I am crazy)

Thought i heard "it ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe". Well, "you can't write a song that's never been sung" (Chumbawamba)

Trite, insipid, or simplistic writing, speech, or conceptualization = Pablum er..... generic pablum.

I like the harpsichord, if that's what it is. Dulcimer maybe?

Hmmm...I was in the other room, heard this playing, and automatically started singing along: "Hey there, Delilah..."
