Atonement Dreaming


(A broken man sings as the sunsets while nature pauses and listens)


Loving You

Is still so easy


The husky voice 

That sweet smile


Lighting up my life

With your Love


Like lightning 

For a country mile 


As it still frees 

Me


So when my sun finally sets


And my tired eyes 

No longer 

Need to get wet


As I take my last breath

I'll remember 


Loving you was easy

And why it still frees me


The husky voice 

That sweet smile


Lighting up 

My life

With your Love


Like lightning 

For a country mile 


And that's why

I'll always 

Love and remember you


For your love

For a guy like me


Will always echo

Into eternity 


For loving you 

Is still so easy


For your sweet love

Once helped 

Save me
