Halcyon Days

Bright light streaming in, through my window pane

Think I'll stare at the shapes it makes

on the floor and then stare again

You've got your curtains drawn,

anything I can do?

Maybe a rose or a pillow or a picture or a funny joke just for you

To carry you away

Let me bring you, some tokens of esteem

Close the door on the world, make it our own beautiful scene

There's a darkness visible, maybe only to me

Maybe just a dream, a time-slowing-down dream,

a hole you're sinking down deep

Comes loose at the seams, make the dream leave

Some rise by wrong

And some by virtue fall

And those convicting may be the guilitiest of all

Wash it all away

I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray,

some halcyon days

Feel a strong gravitational pull, holding you down

And the air feels thick, having a hard time

moving through, moving round

I'm hoping you may let me, help to pull you through

You're here so you might as well let me see

If I can do that for you

Carry you away

Feeling so helpless, mostly I'm a clown

Every now and then gotten so even

up can feel like down

In the hour of my reflection, I've had enough of disaffection

Like a starless sky, no light in our eyes

Maybe change this tonight, some brighter times, some lovely rhymes

Some rise by wrong

And some by virtue fall

And those in judgment could be guiltiest of all

Wash it away

I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray,

some halcyon days

Maybe just a dream, some ever-present dream, evanescent scenes

It could seem so for me, this is for me

Some rise by wrong

And some by virtue fall

And those in judgment could be guiltiest of all

Wash it away

I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray,

some halcyon days
