This song drips with sensuality and deep desire. Bluesy lead guitar sits just behind Janette’s sultry vocals; seductive and full of the night.
lyrics
Oh it is no kindness
To see the moon so near
And still be waiting here;
To see her face so close
And so out of reach
No Kindness
Oh it is a mystery
That the language of the heart
Should be written on skin
I see the lines begin;
I see them start and I know
Where they end
In madness
Oh, it should be getting easier
It should be simple to reach out my hand
But oh no, I don't understand
There's so much sadness
I know I just have to be patient
But it's not my natural state
On a night like this
When oh the ever present kiss
Could come breaking through
The Gloom
And sweeten up this mess
Yes yes yes..
I'm not asking for too much
