Lyrics

Sleeping Softly in this Bed
by David Husted

Inside my house of mirrors
I come into view when I’m looking at you
I’m not so far gone I can’t remember what’s true

Spinning dervish in the heat, smile the smile of underneath
Conversing with your mystery when no one else is listening
Stuck so deep this sweet love weeps

Yet in-between something new is whispering
There’s nothing left that I can bring

Are you listening? Yes, I’m listening
Stuck on a Velcro wall of memories
You stripped me down,

And took away my in-completes
Then curled around me tenderly

You’re worth everything, you’re worth everything
And if I’m crazy; SO BE IT!
‘Cause you turned to me, yes, you turned to me

*************************************************

Through long forgets and tired fights
Solace flashes across the sky

This world’s silent naked brilliance, her legs, her hips, her valleys
More than a painted picture in a gallery
That place where waves kiss, against my worthiness

Where all of my anxieties swarm
And fear insists on switching forms

Building up more neural binds, rushing forward losing time
Upon the tendrils of my sparring fickle mind
May I glow inside your happiness

Night gown slipping to the ground
I feel compassion’s tender growl

Keeping promises, entering mysteries
How can love return when she never left?
Sleeping softly in this bed
