lyrics

SWEET RESPITE by Michael Simpson

Hey you out there across that vast and distance space,
If I could just for a moment ,
a split second ,
take that sadness from your face,
dress you up in sparkling spring water and cloth made of sweet respite,
put the sleep back in your dreams,

remove the trouble from your night ,
take you gallivanting where even poets fear to dare ,
bathe your eyes in lilac light ,
rub some sweet music in your hair ,
illustrate what you mean to me in verse made of liquid air ,
and that place inside my mind where the morning meets the madness ,
I might even take you there .
