You said you hate me when I sing
So I scream myself hoarse for you
Until my voice breaks like the morning
But I'll never hate you too
(Chorus)
This is where I'd tell you
All that…
A very special love song.
Featuring Ewan Crossan on guitar.
One touch

Hypnotic.
This is an absolute classic. C-l-a-s-s-i-c.
I absolutely love this, especially the wonderful interlude of clapping and tapping. 12 minutes is nothing, it speeds by too quickly!
I really dig this whole album
