all the right reasons

sometimes i find myself heart-deep in insecurities and doubts, and then a song will play that helps calm these shaking hands, and soothes my often ridiculous melancholy. i like to think it is some fate of sorts, or perhaps a melodic kind of healing. tonight it was this song, and maybe it will travel to a few of my most favorite hearts that might be able to use it tonight, too.

as i lay upon my bed,

i begin dreaming

of how it's gonna be

the day that i am free

once i settle

like the dust upon the table

but then you came along

you helped me write this song

i don't know what day it is,

i can't recall the seasons

and i don't remember how we got this far

all i know is i'm loving you

for all the right reasons

in my sky you'll always be

my morning star

like a tired bird

flying high across the ocean

i was outside looking in

you made me live again

from the mountains

to the prairies

little babies

figures fill their heads

visions bathed in red

i don't know what day it is,

i can't recall the seasons

and i don't remember how we got this far

all i know is i'm loving you

for all the right reasons

in my sky you'll always be

my morning star

from the train in

manchester, england

lightning fills the sky

as i watched you wave goodbye

from the mountains

to the prairie

little babies

figures fill their heads

visions bathed in red

i don't know what day it is,

i can't recall the seasons

and i don't remember how we got this far

all I know is i'm loving you

for all the right reasons

in my sky you'll always be

my morning star
