Ordinary Peaceful Night

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

#lyrics
I will add music another day. Another song for my concept album in progress.

Lyrics

Someone said your name at the bus stop
I looked and there was no one around
Nothing on the speakers
No bus on the way
No earthly explanation for that sound

Angels talking to me
Comfort in the storm
Walking in the eye of the hurricane
To make it home

Because then the day falls away
To an ordinary peaceful night
And I don’t need to find a reason
And if I can learn to face
An ordinary peaceful night
I won’t need anything to believe in

You were the one who saw it coming
Confidence will make you reach too far
Slipping through your fingers
Nothing left to say
Fallen at the feet of where we are

Signs I might have seen
Shelter in the storm
Seeking out the eye of the hurricane
To make it home

Because then the day falls away
To an ordinary peaceful night
And I don’t need to find a reason
And if I can learn to face
An ordinary peaceful night
I won’t need anything to believe in

Headlines in the paper someone left behind
Said this was the end of the road
Nothing left in orbit
Crashing down to Earth
And that was what the picture showed

Because then the day falls away
To an ordinary peaceful night
And I don’t need to find a reason
And if I can learn to face
An ordinary peaceful night
I won’t need anything to believe in

Only night
The comfort of the night
Only night
The comfort of the night

The lyric reads like a story full of tenderness and known context. Hope to hear it soon. Great skirmish

Beautifully written lyrics. I am wondering if this is at all about grief, or loss, or impending loss perhaps. I was just mesmerized as I read them and they really made me think. Very interesting take on the prompt and a great skirmish!
