Let it Grow Shallow

I'm so weak, but you're so fragile.
So I won't drop my disorientation on you
Confusing to understand, reasonable to the line
Never mind, not useful
Not to me
Not to you
Especially not to you
You're recovering
I'm spinning, drunk in reason
Lay it on, thick butter on bread
No, I won't, I won't, I won't
It's all I want to do
But you're fragile, so fragile
fragile, so so fragile
You're fragile, fragile
And discipline is all I know
So I can't lay it on you
My very best friend
Always in my mind
But our friendship must grow shallow
As you get sober, and I get madder

Say goodbye, let it grow shallow!
Say goodbye, let it grow shallow!
Say goodbye, let it grow shallow!
Say goodbye, let it grow shallow!

Holy crap! I forgot about that one though my computer says I typed it last month. I REALLY want to make this into a song. Basically, this is about my best friend, who's getting her life back together after a lot of drunkenness. She's in a very fragile state right now, and a close relationship with her from me is probably not the healthiest thing for her. She's my best friend so what can I do? Her well being is the only thing that could make me avoid a relationship with her, so I'll let it grow shallow.

Hi,
I came across your blog again today when researching fans of Peter Bradley Adams. I love your writing! I work with Peter (along with some other amazing singer-songwriters too). I wanted to tell you that Peter's new CD "Between Us' is coming out on June 14 on our label Mishara Music (www.misharamusic.com). I would really love for you to hear some of it, as we have two songs streaming on our website now, and you can also get "FUll MOON SONG" from him now, for free too. Please visit us and feel free to share it on your blog too, if you'd like. Peter is very proud of this new CD and I appreciate that you appreciate him!
Regards,
Linda Baker

Well thank you Linda!

After the first time you posted, I went and downloaded all the free music on Mishara Music, so I already have Full Moon Song, but Mother Don't Look Down is new and I'm a fan. The harmonization in the song is absolutely perfect.

Also, I've been looking at some of the other artists you work with. In particular, I've been listening to Gravity by Barnaby Bright and The Heart Won't be Denied by Colin Delvin. Good music!

Thanks again!
