I wrote this song about a month ago.  Though what it's about has no real bearing on me anymore, I still think It's a good song and like to play it often.  I'm kind of at a dead-end now as far as recording goes, and I can't post any songs as of now.  But hopefully I can soon. Enjoy!


V1
As she falls away
With not a word to say
Only silence meets my eyes
But in that gaze I find
A wall to hide behind
Where pools of thought are doomed to die

And how she swims with grace
Upon that awful place
Where the smoke is black with time
And she's found nothin' else
Just walls of empty shelves
Where her heart did once reside

Chorus
But now she's tucked into her bed
With silly thoughts to fill her head
And in the morning she'll be clearer than the diamonds in her eyes
She's got her eyes on the prize

V2
The storms-a-comin' in
And I've got a fire to tend
I've not the time for you now
But when the rains have passed
And when the die is cast
I'm sure you'll hear me singin' loud

And on a sunny day
When the storm has washed away
When morning light is at it's peak
I'll tell you every tale
And hammer every nail
And let you rest when you grow weak

Chorus
But now I'm restless in my bed
With many thoughts thrown at my head
And in the mornin' if I wake to see the sun shinin' bright
I'll have my eyes in the prize

V3
So have a drink or two
And please don't look so blue
Put your feet up and rest a while
Tell me all you've seen
And everywhere you've been
Every treasure you wish to find

'Cause babe, it sure was fun
But now the time has come
For you to exit center stage
But when the lights go out
And the crowd no longer shouts
I'm sure I'll hear you rock my cage

Chorus
But for now we're safe here in our beds
With merely songs to fill our heads
And in the morning if I wake to see you layin' by my side
Then I'll have finally seized the prize
