priorities Lyrics

From my bed I stumbled

My fingers fumbled to find the chords

To play the notes I heard the night before

As I lay sleeping

A song so sweet,a song so true

When I awoke I knew what I had to do

Learn to play the song for you

So I sat bolt upright in bed

But I couldn't find the key

Thoughts were jumbled in my head

Of all I had to do that day

And no matter what I did

That melody washed away

So I got up and walked into the kitchen

To get a cup of Joe

I paced up

And down, rubbed my hands, tapped my feet

Wracked my brain

But I could not find that sweet refrain

So I opened up the door and went outside

I looked up at the sky

The sun was rising and painted the clouds

A blazing orange hue

The spaces between them clear and deep

A holy shade of blue

An eagle circled up above

Soaring high and mighty

Mockingbirds sang out their songs

Dew was shimmering on the lawn

Lilacs filled the air with there sweet perfume

When I went back inside

That melody came back to me

So I picked up my guitar and began to play

Note for note,I didn't miss a beat

The whole damned day

Now that I know my priorities

I can play this song forever

For you..for me..and for anyone who wants to listen

Clear your head
