Gentle Waves Evensong
For a bit of loyalty
I would pay you handsomely
While you're killing time
You could help fill mine
With a bit of honesty
If you're feeling kind of beat
If you're feeling incomplete
Don't be too surprised
Open up your eyes
There's a harsh reality
When a person's sad and lonely
Sometimes they will cry
When the sun comes out to meet them
Then their tears run dry
And it's nearly not so bad
When you learn of how to add up
All the good around
And you can paint the town
With a kind of sad beauty
When a person's sad and lonely
Sometimes they will cry
When the sun comes out to meet them
Then their tears run dry
Life is hard and life is cruel
If you often blow your cool
When hope lets you down
And you feel a clown
For there's little honesty
For a bit of loyalty
I would pay you handsomely
With music as sweet as wine
Rapture that's divine
If you keep me company
You could sing along with my evensong
It might ease the drudgery
