Conceal Me
Xavier Rudd · Good Spirit [2005]
(Xavier Rudd)
Hey Now
I'm speaking once again
Oh yeah
My name is your head
So strange
These people that you have
That's right my friend
It's all just where you're at
This is how I like to play
This is how I feel these days
This is how I like to play
This is how I feel these days
Take me
Conceal me where you like
You will see it open
From within I will rise
Like seasons
Your flavour will die
On and on these people
They'll listen every time
This is how I like to play
This is how I feel these days
This is how I like to play
This is how I feel these days
