Description
My offering for the coffee shop - an acoustic love song dedicated to my wife, Becky. She deserves a symphony; this will have to do - for now...

Lyrics
Struck Dumb
Softly as the ending of the day
She settles down in evening’s sweet embrace
The power of the word takes her away
Quickly lost in some exotic place
The summer breeze slips through the door
The curtain fills the room before
I reach across and trap it in my hand
She turns her head to look at me
Shaken from her reverie
She smiles a smile and turns another page
And here am I
Struck dumb again
In the street the weary kids parade
Laughing as they shuffle through the gloom
A television plays its own charade
Barking from a closed and distant room
The scent of grass, the joyful screams
The colors of a waking dream
Fill my senses softly to the brim
She tucks a hair behind an ear
Takes my hand to keep me near
Heart to heart without a single word
On I go, a traveler in time
I walk the world on roads that never end
She reaches me where no one else can find
And with a single touch I am born again
And now the day succumbs to night
And in the soft and fading light
She fights a yawn and holds the pages close
I flick the switch and golden glow
Illuminates this face I know
And in a heartbeat everything is clear
Softly as the ending of the day
She settles down in evening’s sweet embrace
The power of the word takes her away
Quickly lost in some exotic place
The summer breeze slips through the door
The curtain fills the room before
I reach across and trap it in my hand
She turns her head to look at me
Shaken from her reverie
She smiles a smile and turns another page
And here am I
Struck dumb again
In the street the weary kids parade
Laughing as they shuffle through the gloom
A television plays its own charade
Barking from a closed and distant room
The scent of grass, the joyful screams
The colors of a waking dream
Fill my senses softly to the brim
She tucks a hair behind an ear
Takes my hand to keep me near
Heart to heart without a single word
On I go, a traveler in time
I walk the world on roads that never end
She reaches me where no one else can find
And with a single touch I am born again
And now the day succumbs to night
And in the soft and fading light
She fights a yawn and holds the pages close
I flick the switch and golden glow
Illuminates this face I know
And in a heartbeat everything is clear
