Saint Simon (2023 Remaster) - Thomas Williams (The Shins)
Cover of "Saint Simon" by The Shins.
As usual, James Mercer's melody and lyrics are wonderful.
The original can be found on their album "Chutes Too Narrow".
This is a new cover for me - Track 2 from the upcoming "Best Of" album. I will be uploading one new track from the album a week until they are all available. There are some new songs, some remasters of old songs, and two covers.

Lyrics:
After all these implements and texts designed by intellects
So vexed to find evidently there's still so much that hides
And though the saints dub us divine in ancient fading lines
Their sentiment is just as hard to pluck from the vine
I'll try hard not to pretend
Allow myself no mock defense
As I step into the night
Since I don't have the time nor mind to figure out the nursery rhymes
That helped us out in making sense of our lives
The cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me
I value them but I won't cry every time one's wiped out
I'll try hard not to give in
Batten down to fare the wind
Rid my head of this pretense
Allow myself no mock defense
As I step into the night
Mercy's eyes are blue when she places them in front of you
Nothing holds a Roman candle to the solemn warmth you feel inside
There's no measuring of it as nothing else is love
I'll try hard not to give in
Batten down to fare the wind
Rid my head of this pretense
Allow myself no mock defense
As I step into the night
Mercy's eyes are blue when she places them in front of you
Nothing really holds a candle to the solemn warmth you feel inside you
