lyrics

Tell me, why did you call?
I’ve wondered over and over
Course i remember you at all
My little four leaf clover
No matter where i go
You’re all around
You cover the ground
A beautiful plain
But you’re missing the point
I can no longer explain

some like a mirror
some like a window
some hide instead
and bury their head
under their pillow
no matter what you see
when you close your eyes
on the other side
it happens the same
and you’re missing the point
i can no longer explain

pushing away your fears
like you shove something under a rug
don’t anyone come too near
don’t anyone fall in love
but if you do you better think it through
better know how you’ll for at least a few years
until babies and maybe a house on a hill
you’ll move out of

It was winter outside
When you said it was over
What an unlucky night
My little three leaf clover
Now we watch
The snow coming down
It’s killing the love
That covered the ground
It turns to rain
But you’re missing the point
I can no longer explain

Age of Apathy
by Aoife O'Donovan

supported by 8 fans who also own “Missing The Point”

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway

I've come to your music a little late, but better late than never! Great songs--even better harmonies <3 . I hope the next time you get together it will be sooner than 20 years! sylvia_s
