The Air Between

(album: Mercy - 2021)

As you look out into a painted Western sky
This early holler sunset sure could use your smile
I'm not sure about the miles, or all the air between
The only thing that keeps me going, keeps me half clean

But I wish that you could know just how I see you when you're dancing in the night
In your heart is my home and if lead does start to fly
For you I would gladly die, darling of mine

I got a list of things to do before you get back
Start to cleaning up my room, cleaning up my act
Lord knows I should
I reckon if you've got the time for a half ass guitar man
I'll put pencil to the paper, give you the best life I can

But I wish that you could know just how I see you when you're dancing in the night
In your heart is my home and if lead does start to fly
For you I would gladly die, darling of mine

Twenty thousand lightening bugs light up summer night's sky
It still ain't half as bright as the lights in your eyes
So I'll play for you a song, I sung while you're away
I'll remember all the words while you dream of violins and bass

But I wish that you could know just how I see you when you're dancing in the night
In your heart is my home and if lead does start to fly
For you I would gladly die, darling of mine
