Peace Of Mind lyrics

There are certain times, when I feel there's something stirring in me.
Let's get back to basics with the clarity it brings, then maybe I will see.
When waters run too high, or sun gets in my eyes, it's your name I will call, to catch me when I fall.
It seems I look for comfort, like a child in its mother's arms, safe against the storm.
A puzzle with no ending, I struggle just to keep my calm.

How have you been, I haven't seen you for so long.
Strange as it seems, the memories of you linger on.
Remember that day, my car broke down in the rain.
Well, all you could say, was let's kill time another way.
We thought our love would do it.
But then we seem to lose it...but we are doing fine.
I hear you're doing fine, (doing fine, I hear you're doing fine).

A painted lady sings a lullabye.
A raindrop falls from an empty sky.
A steamboat's lying on a river bed.
The captain smiles and his eyes are red.
Mississippi water washing over me.
Mississippi water washing over me.

A lady's riding bareback on a horse.
I know that Babylon must be her course.
An old man's laughing at the dead of night, but I don't care if her is black or white.

I try to paint pictures drawn from my world,
A song is my canvas, brush strokes are words,
But do I portray love that is just my ideal,
Like sculptures of stone that can never be real.
For I am a man with romance, in my soul,
Do I cry for the moon as I reach for my goal.
Looking for a perfect love, looking for a perfect love.

Born of such innocence, how little we save,

Sweet sugar, pumping through my veins. everywhere is on a wire.
Sweet sugar, you say it's just a game, soon to be your one desire.
When the devil holds your hand, then you know he's in command of temptation.
Like the beauty of a rose, or a summer that will go, where's salvation.

chorus
Say a little prayer,
Say a little prayer for me.
Say a little prayer,

Another shot of courage in a whiskey glass.
I'm frozen with desire every time you walk past.
Distant admiration just won't get me near.
God knows I've tried so hard to shake away all my fears.
I wish I had the courage just to say hello, to say hello to you.
I wish I had the courage just to say hello, to say hello to you.

Even when you smiled at me across the room,

Outside in a winter world sits a woman all alone.
It's not the air that seems so cold, it's the love she's never known.
Outside in a winter world one lonely child roams.
Will ever loving arms unfold to give this soul a home.
So they're living on hopes and they're living on dreams,
While the devil is pushing them to extremes.
Can their spirits be strong, when for loving they long.

I see a coldness in your eyes like a winters day.
You won't accept the compromise love brings your way.
Perfection you see as your prize, but will the circle be unbroken.
You can only learn to love when you understand, accepting people as they are puts the key in hand.
You may be looking at the stars, but on earth you stand.

Like a desert blooms with new fallen rains,
Like joy you bring me makes me live just the same,
Like a northern star that shines through the night,
The peace you offer feels so right, I can't live...
Without your love, without your love, if you were to leave me now,
I would be lost somehow, without your love...

As mother nature makes her seasons go by,

There she lies, silent in slumber.
Oh how she moves my soul in precious moments like these.
The scent on her skin, makes me remember wonders of a woman that are not always seen.
My spirit to my lady belongs.
I'll show my devotion in singing my song.
Woman, woman, you are a treasure to me.
Woman, woman, you shape my destiny.

It’s Sunday night, I am curled up in my room
The TV light fills my heart like a balloon
I hold it in as best I can
I know I’m just another fan
But I can’t help feeling I could love this secret agent man
I can’t...

Wait anymore for him to discover me
I got it bad for David Duchovny
David Duchovny, why won’t you love me?
