Lay me down on
shores of the whitest sand
soft like that woman
with the fight of a thousand men

and if you hold the key
would you set me free?
if you hold the key
would you set me free?

I'm screaming to God
would you come and save
what you've either forgot
or you're strengthening
Ive finally paid the toll
and its all open road
just trying to find a home
take me home

Violet iris
and lilies in bloom for spring
enticing the silence
a song that we all can sing

and if you hold the key
would you set me free?
if you hold the key
would you set me free?

I'm screaming to God
would you come and save
what you've either forgot
or you're strengthening
I've finally paid the toll
and its all open road
just trying to find a home
take me home.

We're tired and changing
heartbeats are fading
our days are numbered
the clocks, they keep ticking
I've been deserted,
my feelings perverted
by a pissed off and ripped off machine cycle circus
when we look in the mirror
it shatters with shame
our faces are bloody
and sour with disdain
I have seen what you are
and I have seen who I am
and we are desperate, we're desperate, we're desperate for home.

lay me down on
shores of the whitest sand
soft like that woman
with the fight of a thousand men.

  • Amazing how you find the best music simply by chance, while flooded with talentless drones daily through the radio and television. This man is incredible....love his artistry.
