Lady by King Rio published on 2021-01-18T07:09:44Z Brown eyes staring painfully, wondering remembering a darker time, a darker place a little boy whose heart would break again & again, misunderstood convinced that he was less than good reminded every time he sat in Sunday School The pointing, whispers overheard until he'd run in tears and hurt To the secret place his stereo & back to her To dream of far off distant things Tomorrowland, prodigals and kings The only one who ever seemed to understand Lady sing to me of rainbow painted skies and Joseph coats of multicolored leaves Let your words become a wall around my heart and let your voice become my place of peace They stabbed him with their judging eyes they'd throw the book and criticize So much that time alone was all that he'd dream of And the lady with the knowing smile who spoke right to the hurt inside with 'Don't Give Up'and 'You'll come forth as gold..' Lady sing to me of rainbow painted skies and Joseph coats of multicolored leaves Let your words become a wall around my heart and let your voice become my place of peace Times have changed, or so it seems I still have scars that never leave And people who condemn, but mostly I don't mind Cos anytime it gets too much I reach for neverending love and run back to the shelter of your song Lady sing to me of rainbow painted skies and Joseph coats of multicolored leaves Let your words become a wall around my heart and let your voice become my place of peace Lyrics by King Rio with assistance from Arthur Severio, copyright 2020 Dreampeople Music & Prodigal Arts. (Dedicated to Reba Rambo, my first favorite singer/songwriter. This track does reference some of her lyrics, song titles, and ideas, so she deserves more songwriting credit than I, because without her, there would be no this.) Genre Pop
