Avalanche

Sing to me a simple melody
So soft it barely sees the light of day
Your voice rushes to my ears like sunlight through
A boarded window who’s been shuttered up all spring
oh sing to me that simple melody
So so innocently It’s as if you did not hear

The crack of separation in a moment’s hesitation
One heart inside me breaking and another growing clean
oh sing

there’s a canyon that I’ve been to
……the walls are tall and dry
sounds echo off like tennis balls
bounce around for miles
I am standing at the bottom
When your voice comes drifting near
I know I should run for cover oh
But then I would not hear you

Sing to me some simple melody
So unexpectantly Seeking nothing in return

Dust is whipping through the canyon
Rocks are kicking down the walls
i try to yell for help but drop
my words like cannon balls

the ground around me tremors
I cannot move I cannot stand
The thought of not remembering
You or this avalanche

Sing

Oh, sing to me some simple melody
So soft it barely sees the light of day
