Shepherd's Song

from "Kiss Before You Go" (p)2011

The sun is up for me
But I know a beauty that shines it out
I can hardly see
When she is up letting her veil down

But it could ever be
I’m just a shepherd hiding from the hounds
She’s a fantasy
With flowers and bows, pretty coats and a silver crown

Every day goes by
The sun and the moon making out in the sky
We keep each other warm
Snuggling up in the dark Mr. Sheep and I

I join my favorite dream
She sings me lullaby's all through the night
And wakes me with a kiss
Sweet taste of apples and wild strawberries
I’m in love with her majesty

So whatcha gonna do?
I wanna build the dream for two
So what’s it gonna be?
I’m jumpin’ up and down, but she can’t see
I think you got a chance
Just move on over and ask her to dance!
I got silly feet and a lousy beat so how on earth could I make her want me

I think it’s gonna rain today
And I’m here on one hill and she’s on the other
The clouds are in my way
As the sky opens up
Letting her veil down

Covering my queen
I’m still just a shepherd, so why should I bother
The valley in between
Gets deeper and deeper as time passes by
Gonna love her til I die
So why don’t I
Just make like a prince and give it a try

So what’s it gonna be?
I could slingshot myself like a bumblebee
So watcha gonna do?
Use Mr. Sheep as a parachute
One the count of three
I’m off to claim my fantasy
In my best clothes buttoned up with a rose
I’m on my way to make you love me

I’ll be your man
In your castle made of sand
Watch your head, my love, I’m coming over
Just so that I can hold your hand
