lyrics
Cold December twenty three…
I was woken from my shallow sleep
From the still dark windows I can see…
how ice is clinging to the trees
And the wind I find unsettling…
cutting through sets the lights flickering…
on the lines
All alone I will count the time
Why is peaceful so hard to find
Old house finds new ways to creek
I swear at night it talks to me
And the wind that’s whistling literally…
pushes on the walls in search of me
And the clock that beams four thirty…
lights the corners in the night…
so I can’t hide
Wondering how can a man provide
Why is peaceful so hard to find
Though it was no fault of mine…
I have been this place a hundred times
And I will spend the time that flies…
digging through my mind for words and rhymes
And waiting for the sun to shine…
on the dark side of this life…
To blind my eyes
To give this man some peace of mind
Why is peaceful so hard to find
