lyrics

Just let the disc play
This is a song to give you hope
I wouldn't have it any other way
This is a song to give you hope
When you say
Honey, I'm afraid to sleep at night, Sleep at night
Honey, I'm afraid to sleep at night, Sleep at night

Well, I wish I had my arms around you
This is a song to give you hope
Just let this thing surround you
This is a song to give you hope
When you say
Honey, I'm afraid to sleep at night, Sleep at night
Honey, I'm afraid to leave tonight, Well, Leave tonight

I said go, go on
Go, go on
I said, I, I love you truly
So go, go on

And get a jump on the finer things
This is a song to give you hope
You never know what the past will bring you
This is a song to give you hope
When you say
Honey, I'm afraid to sleep at night, Sleep at night
Honey I'm afraid to leave tonight, well, Leave tonight
I say go, go on
Go, go on
I said, I, I love you truly
So go, go on

Forty miles south of Monterrey, in the San Lucia hills
The sunshine shone me to sleep, and I dreamt I was alive
I sang myself a song, it went, know what you know
Stay when you stay, and go when you go
And I call it intuition
Flowers bloom and hummingbirds fly
Yes, I call it intuition
It gets me by

Sailing on a silver ship out to the open
Lonely and realizing that our friendship's been broken
And the funny thing to me is how quickly it slips away
And leaves you thinking of the things that were never spoken

And you know loving me is not enough
And I know future is as future does

Sailing on a silver ship out to the open
Lonely and realizing that our friendship's been broken
And the funny thing to me is how quickly it slips away
And leaves you longing for the things that were never spoken

And you know loving me is not enough
And I know future is as future does

Mason Jennings Minneapolis, Minnesota

"I love song craft," says longtime folksinger Mason Jennings, who's spent the bulk of the past 25 years onstage and in the writing room. "A song is like a boat on the water, and you're trying to make it float using as few pieces as you can. If you do it right, a song can be very healing." ... more
