There Can Be No Rest

[allysonmarie]

Something new.

Close up this book of pages.
Knowing will not give what you can't have.
Inaction so far done, none will soon forget
When they heard you, they watched you beg.

The sky we saw close in.
The chill of the storm bites sharply at our skin.
Afraid we were to imagine but
We knew just what could happen.
This killing flood snuck up on no one.

And I'm quite sure I understand.
I don't allow for anyone to reach for my hand.
There can be no rest. No seen safe land.
And the rising ended so long ago.
Ocean beneath is all we know.

A fine vocal and piano song. Bravo!

A fine piece of melancholia, right up my street. Excellent.   Willie

Your piano and voice sounds so beautiful. Fine song and performance!

What powerful song, I really enjoyed it. Clearly you have a new set up and its really sounding wonderful. Nice to hear a song from you.
Rock on !

Yes, I love it!

On this day bump.

I always loved Allysonmarie's emotional performances.

The recording quality has come a long way since the scratchy first efforts.

This is a beautiful performance.
