about

A summery love song.

This particular song imitates the lyrical style of a fellow musician at Eastern University, Nick Mckean. He writes incredibly beautiful, genuine, romantic lyrics. I look up to him for lyrical inspiration and I feel that knowing him and listening to his music has made me a better musician.

lyrics

By the water we will sit for some time
Rollin’ in the grass and drinking love's wine
I am tied unto the brook, you see it
You are tied up on the rock where you sit

I think this should be our life
Your music plays, we come alive
The flowers turn their little heads
“Turn towards the dawn!” our music says

Oh you look so tired,
Let me see your morning smile
Oh, don’t go to sleep
This is better than your dreams

Wear your heart upon your sleeve, I’ll wear mine
Share your burdens, you know I’ve got the time
I think God has turned his ear to hear this
Does he smile when we sing our pure bliss

In the morning when I see your first smile,
I ask you softly if you’ll stay for a while
Morning passes swiftly and then we start
To build a fire with the love in our hearts.
