I Hear Peace In Your Voice
I hear peace in your voice
Treasures hidden for safe keeping
Those bluesy eyes are not for weeping
And your song is destined for singing
As summer skies are open to ideas
Of distant thoughts and mixed up feelings
Of emerging emotions and new careers
And dreams misplaced in times a-fleeting
As you dry my eyes all wet and bleeding
Remembering past days of tears a-weeping
Filled with doubts and the darkest of fears
That you tried to drown in bottles of beer
Or choke with clouds of white veneer....
Yet,
I hear peace in your voice
Treasures hidden for safe keeping
Your bluesy eyes fixed upon me
As I lay by your side, sleeping.
