Lyrics

What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part I)

Shawn Phillips:

And why should we

Want to go back where we were, how many years?

Irene Kral:

All my life I felt

Content to stargaze at the skies

Now I only want to melt

Shawn Phillips:

And why should we

Want to live a life that's past and nevermore?
