She'll be gone soon
You can have me for yourself
She'll be gone soon
You can have me yourself
But do give
Just give me today
Or you will just scare me away
What we build is bigger
Than the sum of two
What we build is bigger
Than the sum of two
But somewhere I was count on my own
And somehow I must find it alone
24 and blooming like the fields of Maine
25 and yearning for a ticket out
Dreams burn but in ashes are gold
Dreams burn but in ashes are gold
You can have me for yourself
She'll be gone soon
You can have me yourself
But do give
Just give me today
Or you will just scare me away
What we build is bigger

Dreams burn but in ashes are gold
Dreams burn but in ashes are gold

Try their album "Versus" which are remixes of songs from their debut album. That was my introduction to this group and everything else by them is just too snoozy for me. I like their songs best with a bit of electronic treatment, sort of like when Everything But the Girl turned on the beats and it all sounded so fresh again.
Wow, I love this song. Reminds me of Michael Hedges with a duet in harmony. Really nice find Bill, Thanks!
I love this one - very soothing and mellowing - perfect for a sunset with the last birds chirping a goonight... 
A sweet little ditty.
me like!
Thanks for this! You`ve got it before me! That is very nice of you! Love this band! Try also, " Quiet is the new Loud"
doesn't Iron and Wine already cover this niche? I can only stand so many ho-hummy, songs...
Not to be confused with The Connells' "74-75".

I'll take your word for it, as I just couldn't stand even 20 seconds of this before reaching for the mute. Sometime's it's the singers voice that just gets to you, either good or bad. Don't ask me why. Maybe it's 'cos it's a Monday morning, or perhaps it's my time of the month... ;)

Nice. They've obviously listened to a lot of Simon & Garfunkel...

Oh christ....can you imagine an evening round at their house.
I wouldn't be around for the starter.
