ballad, americana, folk - Be

from NAKED TRUTHS by John Hanlon

lyrics

Be nothing more
Just ignore the change
We going round the sun
Talking ‘bout everyone
I’ve ever known
And the sparkle in your eye
The kaleidoscopic sky
Let the colours of the day
Surround you

Walk by the rolling sea
Salted breeze in our hair
Talk of the things we plan to do
Hoping it all comes true
When we get there
And if you should feel the same way too
Let the music of the day
Surround you

Wind in the willows
Lying on my bed
Moon shining overhead
Little Tommy wonders
What nightingales would sing about
I wish I could have told him
I didn’t really know then
‘He’s happy Tom,’ is what I should have said

Be nothing more
Just ignore the change
We going round the sun
Doing what must be done
To rearrange
And the meaning of these words
Depends on what is heard
Let the music of the day
Surround you
Here we are
Driving in the car
