Your kindness is the kind
That most people are blind to
Your caring love is blind
To all the pain that binds you
I wish I were the kind
Of person that could do
The things that make you you
The things you do

Dulcimer...
play me a song
'bout all the wrongs
that I have done.

Sweet Dulcimer...
in your strings and swirly grains
lie my life's story
and the way my river runs.

Ol' Lucifer...
leave me alone
for it's a long, hard road
that I have gone.

My darlin' fair...
in your sweet and lovely face
I see longing... I see despair
I see sorrow and despair.

Somewhere in the misty moonlight
I hear her music play
Sweet Dulcimer
take me home.
Sweet Dulcimer...take me away.

Adrift…
In a sea of love and anger.
Afloat…
On a ship that lust and heat have turned to rust.
Drowning…
In a life that’s turned asunder.
And we’re under…
Beneath the waves above.
Churning lies and choppy water…
No goodbyes.
No waves or glance my way…
Anger like a buoy.
But at the bottom on the floor lies guilt…
Because anger doesn’t hurt as bad.
Its only gild…
Only armor.
Only armor…
