Ok, so it's an existential crisis in a song.  Since y'all seemed to like the last Leonard Cohen-ish song, here's another.  Enjoy :-)

Superb lyrics, I would include them in the above discription.

The harmonies really bring the song to life.

Ended it bit sudden.

Yes must agree, your lyrics are sublime, the whole song is sublime! It's just that bloody Leonard Cohen character that keeps on nagging me ed!
Yes like-a-lot !

Lyrics
Once in your life could you bear to stop?
I've been hurried and I won't be catching up
We're coming to a cross, and the road is trailing off
And here we must decide
There's a green hill up above called The Skull by some of us
And here we'll rest a while
 Take the world it comes and goes,
 take all the golden spires -
 I won't know
 If the sum of my desires is all that Jacob saw
 then there's nothing in the world
 I'd still want more
My heart is like the gravel on the road
Spread so thin that there's nothing left to hold
And I'm bound to the crossroads like the spider to his silk
Waiting for the wind
When my life is dusted off I'll still be nailed to the cross
Indecision came to me like mother's milk
 Take the world, it comes and goes,
 take all the golden treasures -
 I won't know
 If the sum of all my pleasures is all that Rachel had in store
 then there's nothing in the world
 I'd still want more
Make a list, cross off what you don't want
What you're left with is the sermon on the mount
The pile of fish, growing huge, the need will come, you can't refuse
It's your job to divide
My alibi, I wanted something else
I made sure I took one item off each shelf
 Take the world, it comes and goes
 take all the summer wine -
 I won't know
 If the harvest that was mine was planted in Job's orchard
 then there's nothing in the world
 I'd still want more

Lovely vocal harmonies, very good lyrics as mentioned by others.

Slightly muffled recording, which is a shame but fixable.

DON'T agree with Blue about changing the key for this one - I think that the lower vocal delivery adds to the ambiance of the whole track.

A simple piece, really well delivered.

Nice

I love Suzanne! You do sound a lot like Leonard Cohen. You sound great! The lyrics are deep.  I like this style.  More songs please!
