Satin Sheets
Song Lyrics: Cloaked in Crimson and cream: Soft Rock-Piano & violin
Verse 1:
Undone—,
I've been a little lost, a little mis-guided.
I walked on.
Ignored the sneers, the glares;
I kept silent.
Mis-takes,
I'm sure, were all guilty of plen-ty
Erase this dirt;
Gently cleanse our memories.
Speak truth,
We can all find inn—ocence—;
Beneath a thin layer of silk.
You better un-tie;
Those knots have you ta—ngled—
Lay down,
And let the satin sheets soothe.
(Instrumentals Build)
Be still—,
Just breath for a moment.
Rest well—;
Find answers in your dreams.
Time heals;
Scars are there to remind us of battle.
Be strong;
I know you are stronger than me.
Rough ti-mes’
Been driving us cra-z—y—,
A lost mind can defeat the demon inside.
Hold on;
To the few that will gui-de you—,
Lay down;
Let the satin sheets soothe.
Chorus:
It’s been a long day
And I know that we're both restless;
Set those thoughts aw—ay—
As life continues on to test us.
Somewhere far aw—ay—
We'll find the answers;
But for now
Lay down—
Somewhere safe and sound;
Just breathe.
Verse 2:
Soft skin,
Car-ess me gently—
Slow down,
The body is an art.
Those hands can touch till it t—ingles—,
Life's short,
But we've made it this far.
We've grieved;
I know that you felt me—
(and) I try to fight the demons inside.
I let go;
(and) free-fell into noth-ing—,
Inhaled;
And the satin silk soothed.
Oh, I smile,
Each day to a stranger—,
Close my eyes and sing in the sun.
Listen to
The words the wind whis—pers—,
I know our souls are forever one.
Scream loud!;
At the top of a mountain—,
I’m home,
Where the snow touches the sky.
I have faith
You are the north star
That lights my path,
Smiling down;
When I dance
Barefoot in the sa—nd.
Chorus:
It’s been a long day
And I know that we're both restless;
Set those thoughts aw—ay—
As life continues on to test us.
Somewhere far aw—ay—
We'll find the answers;
But for now
Lay down—
Somewhere safe and sound;
Just breathe.
(Piano Interlude)
Verse 3:
(Whisper)
Soft skin,
I'll caress you ge-ntl—y,
Cloaked in crimson and cream
I know your body is an art.
These hands;
Swam bare in crystalline wa—ter—s,
Rest your head on my chest;
Feel my heart.
Breath deep;
I'll always quiver ben-eath you—
Release the painful demons inside.
Take my hand;
We'll plummet in com—fort—,
Dream now;
The satin sheets will soo—the.
