Daydream Summer

The silence is so soothing
All you hear is wind in the leaves
The sun has never been warmer
You close your eyes - and feel the summer breeze
You can brush away your autumn thoughts
They opened their arms and said, “You’re home”
And when your stomach gets tied in knots
They’ll bring you close and say you’re not alone
You wanted lasting freedom
To live eternal spring
But the seasons always change
It doesn’t mean a thing
You can daydream away the summer
The sun is bright and your shadow is still long
But when the cold wind starts creeping in
Don’t it all feel wrong?
I come alive in the evening
Still nothing is as it seams
When it’s dark I go night swimming
So every day I stay in bed and dream
And in the blaze of summer heat
I didn’t hear the sparrows flying by
And when the red leaves fell to my feet
I didn’t even stop to wonder why
I wanted lasting freedom
To live eternal spring
But the seasons always change
It doesn’t mean a thing
You can daydream away the summer
The sun is bright and your shadow is still long
But when the cold wind starts creeping in
Don’t it all feel wrong?

Blue Skies

Does it matter if I pull the curtains?
It’s so dark outside – I can’t even see
Outside this heavy burden
And cloudy haze that rests inside of me
Somehow my feet keep working
Step-by-step, hands push invisibly
Even though my head’s swirling
And I have tears enough to fill the sea
It gets this way sometimes
I’ll rise but I won’t shine
But you’re the blue skies in my mind
You’re the sun that makes me blind
On a cold and cloudy day
I close my eyes you take me away
When I lay still my pulse thunders
The wind laughs each time I breathe
I look up and wonder
Why these sorrow clouds hang over me?
But this night won’t pull me under
I still have my memories
You’re right around the corner
This will pass and soon I’ll be set free
It gets this way sometimes
But I’ll leave it all behind
