Close your eyes, it's an early day
You know your dreams, they cannot wait
To fade away once you're awake
So tell the sunlight, "go away"
Your heart tells you to go astray
And in the end you cannot stay
Let go, don't worry about the pain
Tomorrow it'll be just the same
So close your eyes, it's an early day
~
An' evening come, the day will wane...
Listen, and you'll start to hear
The darkness, call your name...
In a quiet voice
So softly spoken
In the sound of rain
In the daylight broken
~
And shadows stretch upon the wall
An' in the silence all your cares,
They fall...
...Away...
So close your eyes..
It's an early day

its a good thought, wish I could hear the song! write on ww
I am going to take your advice: close my eyes and dream of the weekend....And maybe figure out a melody?! Thanks SA.
Yeah, it does sound pretty tempting, doesn't it..?
I'm glad that you liked my song..
I've always loved to imagine how my poems would sound as music, and I sing them to myself as I write. (It sounds pretty weird, now that I think about it.)
Have you heard of Simon and Garfunkel? They were pretty popular during the '60's, but my personal opinion is that they never went out of style.
I mention them, because I was humming their song, "The sound of silence," as I wrote this particular piece. I think that, if ever there were a melody so fitting for these words, it would be that.
