A new mix with a little more solid production.

Music/Lyrics/Singing/Playing/Mod Ska Dancing/Arranging/Recording: Tom O'Brien

A song about someone with a depth to her soul which sometimes makes it hard to read her.
And your roots they go down
Somewhere far below the ground
Will they rot or will they stay?
It's impossible to say

And the treetops dance together in the wind
They demonstrate their strength in how they bend
And just like you they're solid down below
And that's the part of you I'll never know

(Chorus)

And your eye is just a magic colored lens
That judges between enemies and friends
The right to see inside is your to give
The mirror sometimes makes it hard to live

(Chorus)

You're always playing games within the shadows
You never venture out into the meadows
You speak your truth and hope that someone echoes
It hurts your heart to see that no one follows

And we can dance together in the night
And we can sin and later feel contrite
I want to know what's underneath your skin
I'm begging you to please, please let me in

(Chorus)

And the shadows of the branches reach like hands
Grasping all your strategies and plans
You tie them up all neatly with a bow
But that's the part of you I'll never know

(Chorus) x
