This Meantime
I give you my heart, six notes and a page
just paper and words, melodies heard, now and then in this place
outside there’s this light, that matches my mood
gusts of hard wind, that bully dried leaves and yesterday’s news
chorus
I give it all just for a few
moments where I stumble into the clear blue
here’s hoping it happens, and happens in time
to save me and you, and carry us through, in this meantime
verse 2
Take what you like, leave me to rest
no matter the cost, I think that I’ve lost, what’s clean & what’s best
the older I get, the more time I take
I sing to the dark, I sing to the dawn, for all that’s at stake
chorus
bridge
who gets to say that enough is enough
I’m singing redemption so much my voice is rough
This heart is a drunk, staggers and swears
loves as quick as it hates, believes in bad fate, swinging wildly at air
I drink to your health, I sing for my soul
here’s hoping the gods, let this heart beat the odds
and return to the fold

I enjoy Sarah's treatment of the holiday classics, but her original - 'Light' - is really something special. The tune, the tone, the lyrics and her delicate voice combine to send me into a state of peaceful repose, basking in a soft light. rogerO
