Peace In My Time

Since you've been gone

the sun don't come around

Remember the last time

we laid our burden down?

Your eyes were so green

seemed like summer would just go on and on

Now it looks like fall

tends to prove us wrong

I know it's not easy

to bring faith across a canyon

But time isn't kind

it's much wider then you imagined

But here's a bridge

made of smoke and thin air

And here's a shred

of hope to get you there

She says my name

it rolls around her tongue

When the sunlight fades

the moon asks for me to come

Don't ever go so

far from me again

The one who leaves grieves

for the one who feels abandoned

I've never been one

to sit around and count the days

The calender just moans

the bed never gets made

But I decided to sit still

and wait by my window

For peace in my time

with a woman I know

When broken hearts break

with that avalanche on the horizon

You and I got out scars

searching for life beneath the last one

But I packed my boat

and I hope it's sea worthy

I don't know the river

but I'm ready for the journey

She says my name

it rolls around her tongue

When the sunlight fades

the moon asks for me to come

Don't ever go so

far from me again

The one who leaves grieves

for the one who feels abandoned
