Extremely heavy.  Feel this song resounds the loss of a child.  The experience is tortuous.

I remember hearing this the first time...and boy was it the right time... me and carri just...anyway..yeah, love this. timeless message...

Wow, Curt has a way with singing in a poetic kinda way and so touching.

The most personal song on the album. I wrote the lyrics on the flight home from the UK after my mother's funeral, the song was written to the lyrics. She wasn't the best mother because of her family background & the fact that we had an absent father, but she did "well enough alone". Also, to me the phrase summed up her solitary life bringing up three boys - well, enough, alone. Amazing what a comma can do.


Not ever-present 
Tense with tragedy 
Your part-time care 
Free abandoned you 
Deserted we... 
Leave, well enough, alone 
Your single hand 
Picked down through the sand 
To hold not to save 
You sink to the deep 
And cry well enough alone... 
Leave, well enough, alone 
Sleep walk my child 
With your innocent smile 
At the camera alone 
Hold-out for home 
You did well you did well you did well you did 
Well 
Enough 
Alone 
Leave, well enough alone

Well Enough

I'm a singer-songwriter-musician. (Yeah, I'm also half of Tears For Fears.) Thanks for giving my solo material a listen.
