Halcyon Days

Halcyon Days
 Bright light streaming in, through my window pane
 Think I'll star at the shapes it makes
 on the floor and then stare again
 You've got your curtains drawn,
 anything I can do?
 Maybe a rose or a pillow or a picture or a funny joke just for you
 To carry you away
 Let me bring you, some tokens of esteem
 Close the door on the world, make it our own beautiful scene
 There's a darkness visible, maybe only to me
 Maybe just a dream, a time-slowing-down dream,
 a hole you're sinking down deep
 Comes loose at the seams, make the dream leave
 Some rise by wrong
 And some by virtue fall
 And those convicting may be the guilitiest of all
 Wash it away
 I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray,
 some halcyon days
 Feel a strong gravitational pull, holding you down
 And the air feels thick, having a hard time
 moving through, moving round
 I'm hoping you may let me, help to pull you through
 You're here so you might as well let me see
 If I can do that for you
 Carry you away
 Feeling so helpless, mostly I'm a clown
 Every now and then gotten so even
 up can feel like down
 In the hour of my reflection, I've had enough of disaffection
 Like a starless sky, no light in our eyes
 Maybe change this tonight, some brighter times, some lovely rhymes
 Some rise by wrong
 And some by virtue fall
 And those in judgment could be guiltiest of all
 Wash it away
 I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray,
 some halcyon days
 Maybe just a dream, some ever-present dream, evanescent scenes
 It could seem so for me, this is for me
 Some rise by wrong
 And some by virtue fall
 And those in judgment could be guiltiest of all
 Wash it away
 I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray,
 some halcyon days
