Deepening Of The Stillness

DEEPENING OF THE STILLNESS

Every night I lay my head down
Every night I think about you
In the morning, raise my head up
Watch the sun rise, think about you
Now the smoke hangs over the meadow
And the sun shines warm upon my face

In the deepening of the stillness
I close my eyes and think about you

The air is buzzin' like it's full of hornets
And a-crashin' like thunder in my ears
And John Gilbert from Jefferson County
Standin' next to me, disappears
We sit together in the smoke and fire light
He plays his mouth harp so soft and slow

In the deepening of the stillness
I close my eyes and think about you

Sometimes words get left unspoken
Sometimes words just vanish in the air
We are here for but a moment
Before we whisper our last prayer
Do I show you how much I love you?
Do I tell you the words written in my heart?

In the deepening of the stillness
I close my eyes and think about you
In the deepening of the stillness
I close my eyes and think about you
In the deepening of the stillness
I close my eyes and think about...
