about

We really went all out with the arrangement on this one - it has not only Ace Tone, PSR-12 and analog synth (the bedrocks of the WP), but also accordion, piano, a glockenspiel that Breakglass's Dave Smith bought for the occasion, and lap steel (by Michael Feuerstack). I always feel like I didn't quite nail the right tone on the vocal, but I still really like this tune. I was going for a Dolly Parton kind of feel, I'll never measure up to Dolly but sometimes you gotta aim high.

lyrics

Oh the world seems to weigh down too much for my taste
We should turn back the clock, for it seems such a waste

But don't worry, just close your eyes
We can do just so much for our size
Hunker down and plug away
I don't know how, but we'll find some way
All in time

I can wipe off your tears, but it's all right to weep
Put your breast on my back, we can float off to sleep

We can trip, but let's try not to fall
We just have to look forward is all
In our little corner, we'll keep on plugging away
I don't know how, but we'll find some way
All in time.
