"Sing the Sorrow" is one of those albums that I will always love and go back to, both for nostalgia and because it's just that good. "Girl's..." in particular is so well-written, so catchy, so lyrically beautiful that it fits perfectly into this vocal setting.

lyrics

I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Swim in the calm tonight
This art does drown

What follows me as the whitest lace of light
Will swallow whole just begs to be imbrued
What follows has led me to this place where I belong,
With all erased

All insects sing tonight
The coldest sound
I'd send God's grace tonight
Could it be found

I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Watch stars go out tonight
On sinking ground
