Lyrics
SLEEPING LIGHTLY
By©Bernardo Barreto

Over the heavenly body of the night
I think of you and your smell of angels
The ways of your hair and your half smile
And your portrait on the wall that shines.

I think about the hours by the river
In the park under the trees
At the movies in the dark
Foreign films and foreign bodies.

(solo)

I think about the naked hours
Under the sheets walking you body
Trying to find the origin of your skin
In between pillows and dreams.

I think about the beauty marks
On your chest like a map to your heart
And your hands as soft as your back
Anticipating the arrival of the dawn.

niiiiice sultry stylings
Great sound "bed" here, evocative poetic lyrics, and definitely delivered in a languid, slow, sultry style. Sort of a Male-voice mirror to "Alannah" here on Macjams... probably dangerous to put those two together on a collab, it would melt the internet :-)
ttfn,

Very nice track
Lovely languid feel from the instrumentation, and the vocal performance. I like the imagery in the poem (some very evocative lines), and i think you've done a great job of putting it to music. Your voice adds great depth to the words, and the guitar sounds sweet. Very cool. Nicely done. Peace.

Reminds me of Dylan/Robbie Robertson. Someone already said perfectly -evocative. Nice classic Blues/Rock guitar lead also. Very unique!
