My Mind's Riot

(album: Shelby Lynne - 2020)

Trying to tell you
With words in a song
It's harder than I know
Finding love with you gone

Morning Joe becomes a chore
Music not the same as before
The quiet wind is nothing more
Than a balm to soothe my unsteady shore

It's not easy loving
There's no joy in wanting
Can't find the beauty in dreaming
I wake up believing you're leaving
Stupid me thinking the quiet
Still holds the key
To my mind's riot

A million years in every day
With you so far away
Who am I without you here
Oh, I'm praying baby
Maybe you'll appear

It's not easy loving
There's no joy in wanting
Can't find the beauty in dreaming
I wake up believing you're leaving
Stupid me thinking the quiet
Still holds the key to my mind's riot
