about

Written in 2013-ish in an effort to mockingly create a song in the style of Mumford & Sons/ Lumineers as they were really popular at the time. I ended up with something I actually liked and have kept it in my back pocket ever since.

lyrics

I awoke the other day and found that I had gone astray
I was put here to play, it’s what I do
No matter what I say, it’ll always be okay
You’ll live another day, even if it’s raining outside
On a summer night, I will hold you tight
‘Neath the moon shining bright
This is life my dear


I’m awake late at night, thinking of a simple life
Another place, another time where I can breathe
So you say you wanna stay, that’ll always be okay
Just don’t let me hear you saying, ‘I don’t know’
All I have are simple words, I have no silk, or lace, or pearls
I’m in love with the world, the wind it is my friend
