Bless This Heart

This little song is about staying strong and true as we get older. I decided to keep it rough and bare. Bless This Heart (Brian Peters) I've been travelling a while Wearing out these miles Portioning my days In that circle of time I've been holding fast Unrolling the past And I'm doing fine Bless this heart of mine The bright new man, the dunce, I do not fear The blazing sun, the bone-beak missile spear I count them none I've been spinning a dial Unreeling a line Floating on a river Without a sign A sailing lotus shell On a ripple bell Yes, I'm doing fine Bless this heart of mine The cackle and the bark, they hold no sway The parables of dark, they're like the spray I count them none I've been holding the nerve On a winding curve Shooting out some pebbles In the grit and grime My rumbled peace As I take my ease Says I'm doing fine Bless this heart of mine Yes, I'm doing fine Bless this heart of mine
