A Distant Song

Better close your eyes
And sing along
Whispering words
And humming to a tune out of the key
There’s no place like my own mind in me
You hear the tambourine
It leads you to
A place you can hide
Your fears and your feelings and your lies
A distant place
A piece of land
A solo from a weary music man
A solo flight
To reaffirm the sky
To know that I won’t turn my night in day
