A summer breeze a cricket sings
The tree's leaves rustle softly
A gentle hint of a birds coo
A melody so beautiful to me

To walk through the tall grass
Sun shining warm on my back
Bare feet making no sound
Freedom only breathes in these moments

The smell of rough earth
Mingles with the perfume of the rose
And gentle hints of crushed grass
The essense of my home

I get lost in my love
I hear a quiet melody
That turns to my own symphony
My feet move on their own
I spin, I fall, I laugh
Spirit soaring
Into the clouds

No sleep for the weary
No rest for my soul
For the nightmares come to haunt

Everything known and unknown
The love that I lost
The shadows of her past
All the fears she was hiding
I took on as my own
Now they plague my dreams

No sleep for the dreamers
No rest for the broken
For the nightmares come to haunt.

My hat over my head
When they picked the first notes
A dancing little melody
Strung over two guitars
Just a simple jig I guess

I lifted my head a little
When the first voice sang
A young country cowboy
Made my heart twitter
Just a skip I guess

I sat up in my seat
When that second voice sang
A dark country twang
I said for him,
I'd move out west

Smells intoxicating
When you open the skin
To the juicy citrus center
And what lies within
A zest on your fingers
And under your nails
Leaving you with a memory
Of the orange peels

A whisper of a memory
Of a song I use to hear
Is drifting, shifting, echoing
To invoke a single tear

A hint of that lonely melody
Of a hidden crying coo
Is sighing, dying, knowing
The end will come too soon

A breath of a last note
Of a final empty dream
Is fading, greying, leaving
Only a single silent scream
