Far Beyond

A little thunder in the evening
A little rain to wake you in the morning.
See a thing so simple, a thing so pure
And be happy darling

Fly beyond your toil my dear
Far beyond it all

A breath of cool air in the evening
To dry the sweat from you skin
All your work is done for the day
Be satisfied in what what is done

Fly beyond your toil my dear
Far beyond it all

Let's sit on the porch and keep the conversation slow
Have a glass for the day
Forget the rest, no worries, no fear
The evening rain is here

Fly beyond your toil my dear
Far beyond it all

This song was interesting for me to write, though the lyrics aren't the best I've done. First of all, much of my music is very soothing, while my lyrics tend to be pretty intense. I've found that the two are nearly impossible to mesh, so I can't make the music work. This song was a thought out attempt to get some words I could work with. It's not the greatest way to write and this will probably not even make the final cut to an EP (which I hope to produce sometime in the next 5 years or so), but I figure it's a worthwhile placeholder for some better lyrics.

This song was inspired by Ireland, my Bouzouki and "Little Laughter" by Acoustic Alchemy.
