Hidden Treasure

There's nothing better than discovering little treasures that have been within your grasp, but you didn't realize it. It's kind of like the feeling you get when you loose your keys and you find them under your shirt you dropped on your bed. It's a moment of disbelief that you could have left them right there and that you have passed them by so many times. You were so close, but they are only discovered when out of frustration you plop down on your bed only to here them tease you with a jingle (or torment you with a poke in the behind).
Such is the fate of a Damien Rice song for me. My ear ever searching for gems that produce moments of pensive reflection. I've had the CD on my computer for some time now, but haven't listened to it completely. I'll know better next time.
This song was played by accident or maybe not.
It's called Older Chests
I've copied the first verse and the chorus.


"older chests reveal themselves
like a crack in a wall
starting small and grow in time
we all seem to need the help
of someone else to mend that shelf
of too many books
read me your favorite line
papa went to other lands
and found someone who understands
the ticking and the western man's need to cry
he came back the other day you know
some things in life may change
and some things they stay the same
like time
there's always time
on my mind
so pass me by
I'll be fine
just give me time"
