Close your eyes / It's an early day

Severus Alexander

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

    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.
