lyrics
Every night i lay my head down
Every night i think about you
In the morning, raise my head up
Watch the sunrise and 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's a-buzzin' like it's full of hornets
And a-crashin' like thunder in my ears
And john gilbert from jefferson county
Standing 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
Did I show you how much i love you
Did 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
