about

So I've begun recording my early morning writing/playing sessions while I'm watching my little one. The collection is affectionately called the "Dolly Sessions." If you're listening to this, it's because you are a friend.

Love is patient, Love is kind. This song is about being patient with Love, and often the results can be kind… in due time.

lyrics

VERSE I
Walked into the Louvé and caught Venus there naked
And all I said so where’s the rest
I’m oh so damn lucky live beyond satisfactory
Why do I act unimpressed

I lay in my room right next to an angel
I want more proof than her wings
With virtue and vice, advice might be helpful
To help me enjoy everything

CHANNEL
For I fear If I don’t
I’ll miss more than most. .

CHORUS
Let me be still
Like a calm water
Let me be still
Like Job’s will, I’ll try every test
And if then she will
Let me have her satisfied
A ring that will seal
And I won’t let no soul untie what we have No soul
no not even I

VERSE II
Brought you home flowers to be oh so charming
I clean up you put on a dress
You may just be blushing, but all my blood’s rushing
I’m too busy thinking ahead

The smell of the roses, the joy of the moment
I know I will miss or won’t find
I’ll scream for attention, yell that I’m thirsty
Though the well is anything but dry

CHANNEL
For I fear If I don’t
I’ll miss you the most .

CHORUS
Let me be still
Like a calm water
Let me be still
Like Job’s will, I’ll try every test
And if then she will
Let me have her satisfied
A ring that will seal
And I won’t let no soul untie what we have No soul
no not even I

BRIDGE
I wouldn’t be this far without you
Please God don’t take me far from her.

CHORUS
Let me be still
Like a calm water
Let me be still
Like Job’s will, I’ll try every test
And if then she will
Let me have her satisfied
A ring that will seal
And I won’t let no soul untie what we have No soul
no not even I
