Seven Years - Howard Eliott Payne - lyric

This is another one that that someone asked after this evening.  It is my pleasure to be able to help in this regard when I am able to do so and it also absolves me from the need to consider what the next post should be about!  Just at the moment however that is the least of my problems for there is just so much good music bubbling away and just awaiting a wider audience.

Bright Light Ballads (2009), from which this track comes, is very good indeed and very consistent throughout. Why it is not better known is just one of many mysteries but, on the other hand, sometimes I like the feeling that there are always 'secrets' out there just waiting for me to find and enjoy.

Seven Years

Seven long years as wild as the wind
We cradled the dawn to whatever end
And sometimes when I feel broken and blue
It brings me such peace to think about you.

I was there at the start when you first came in
An angel of soul, a harbour of sin
A moment of doubt not knowing what is true
It brings me such peace to think about you.

I left in the spring with a gun in each hand
We kissed on the tracks and parted as friends
And seven long years beneath a cold prison moon
It brings me such peace to think about you.
  
Yeah, it brings me such peace to think about you.
Yeah, it brings me such peace to think about you.
