Easy, Dear (The Light)

Music + lyrics by M. Zickler

Good night
Peel the corners off the day
I know you've tried to make it stay
A little longer
And you're right,
It's a hard rain that might fall
But tearing storm clouds from the walls
Won't make you stronger

Lace your dress shoes up and walk
Pull the wrinkles out
Of all the blame you've been wanting to talk about

When the farm's been sold
And you're getting older
You can wait by the light of your records turning
When the southern sun gets cold
And you hope you've told her
About the light in your heart
And how it just keeps burning
Rest easy, dear
It's enough to keep love over fear

Find your second gear and drive
Proof that we were here, alive

Our hearts run faster than our bodies are able
Where were you when the last of the horses left the stable?

The farm's been sold and you're getting older
But you can wait by the light of your records turning
And the southern sun gets cold but you're always learning
About the light in your heart
And how it just keeps burning
Rest easy, dear
Easy
