Lyrics

Someone's Shoulder
D. Bennett 1982
You see the faces in the mirror
You see them changing everyday
When you see the skies aren't getting clearer You cling on 'til Someone's Shoulder gives away
When you feel emotion in the room rise
And you hear our old and favorite songs
You recall our loving moments
You cling on to Someone's Shoulder when I'm gone
Chorus
You can set your mind on more simple things You can go where ever you please
And if it starts to get to you baby
You cling on to Someone's Shoulder when I leave
Instr Break
They say it's only the beginning
Some say our past is all we got
But I say we're only just beginning
To cling on to our own shoulder 'til we're one
Chorus
You can play the role of a single girl
You can come and go as you please
But if it starts to get to you baby
You cling on to Someone's Shoulder when I leave

Nice instrumentation

Vocal and song style reminiscent of Al Stewart. Which is to say dated. But vocals are nice.

Nice melody and excellent performances.

The style is very original, and the song is quite catchy. I liked the hook. Nice piano and guitar solo.
