about

Good lord … finally a song a like! It's been a while since I wrote something that connected to me in any real way. I suppose that my idea of an Irish lullaby this week was something in 6/8 invoking sleep and peace that blatantly ripped off Damien Rice, and I'm OK with that. Sleep tight.

lyrics

sometimes this house gets so loud
sometimes I stand ‘neath the blackest of clouds
love's when the walls all come down
times I forget just how much I can hurt you

the clock ticks slow
I’ve got miles to go

it’s hard being gone for so long
but I’ve got a history of holding you wrong
don’t know what happens to me
I can’t find the notes and I lose harmony

and the walls turn black
I can’t find my way back

close your eyes
let the silence wash over you now
nothing can hurt you tonight
the hours before daybreak
the stars sweep the sky
under the moon’s cleansing light
may you find peace

I’ve taken for granted the trials
that sometimes I have to drive hundreds of miles
to find it all falling in place
plain as the nose on the end of my face

between love and peace
sometimes wonders cease

please don’t forget what I said
specially the parts that I left in my head
everything I’m all about
sometimes gets lost in the screams and the shouts

and the road goes by
should my heart bleed dry

close your eyes
let the silence wash over you now
nothing can hurt you tonight
the hours before daybreak
the stars sweep the sky
under the moon’s cleansing light
may you find peace
