Sort of Leonard Cohen/Nick Drake but without the lyrical brilliance or the musical virtuosity.
Chilled out, mellow stuff.

Lyrics
This she knows well In a dark corner of her heart: What holds us together Could tear us apart. Dangerously fragile, I handle with care. But the beautiful filigree is sharp as sin, And the hand should beware. It shines like the morning, Drawing me in. And as I clutch it to my breast The edges pierce my skin. High walls and ramparts You have fashioned from love. And a throne on a mighty hill To look down from above. And I the poor traveller, In rags at the gates, Stare in envy through the bars And curse the one I await. The pure and the righteous At one in your breast, While the thief and the userer Dare them both to transgress. And all of God's children Run to touch of your hem, While she rifles my wallet And sells my gold to them. And in the last twilight As the world turns to sleep, I embrace my fragile muse And know she's mine to keep.
