Laura Sandage: Listen

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Ray Frank and I recorded the guitar and vocal on this song in a single live take. Florie Brown added the violin part later.

THE SAME TREASURE

When you see your lover
When you see your friend
Do you look into his eyes
Or just pretend?
Does it make you nervous
To show how you feel?
Are you scared of something
So real?

We're all hiding
The same treasure
The same truth
In equal measure
We're all shielding
Timid eyes
From the same treasure
Same bright prize

Do you suspect there's something
No one's told you of?
Do you wonder what can quench
Your thirst for love?
What if you could drink it
In the twinkling of an eye?
We have it deep inside us,
You and I

We're all hiding
The same treasure
The same love
In equal measure
We're all breathing
Longing sighs
For the same treasure
Same bright prize

When you have a moment
When you have some trust
Polish up your treasure bright
Brush away the dust
You don't need to save it
For a rainy day
It was made for you to
Give away

We're all hiding
The same treasure
The same joy
In equal measure
When we share
We realize
It's the same treasure
Same bright prize
