    I’m not a body, the body is but a shell
    I disembody but suffering is sovereign,
    Still
    No grasp on reality
    The world is a wonderland scene
    I don’t know
    What we are
    But every cell in the corpus resembles stars
    Signal into the sky
    God sings to me in reply
    Don’t bother calling,
    I’ll call you
    I’m not somebody; somebody would savor us
    You need a solid, but I’m made of liquid,
    Trust
    In me, I am the son of the sea
    And I’ll call you when I feel finally free
    I don’t know what we are
    But all I know is I can’t go
    Away with you with half a heart
    Don’t bother calling,
    I’ll call you
    Don’t bother asking for the truth
    Don’t bother calling, I’ll call you
    Don’t bother calling, I’ll call you

      Anja Wilderjans Burt - You should try, for example, "Cadence and cascade" (King Crimson - studio version). That is just one example, that stands on my mind. I know that's from other time and style, but it is a wonderful track, standing betweem prog, folk and jazz...

Jools Holland, but could not find it, forgetting is name, much more the name of the tune ... fortunately my friend visited today and asked for 'Moses Sumney' to be played ... therefore I again started searching and within 2 hours, found it at last.
