Alyse

Philbo King performing his original ballad 'Alyse' at the Artisans Sanctuary in Marion Iowa during the Marion Art Fest May 19, 2018 Lyrics and Music (c) 2017 Philbo King Music Small and slender, warm and tender What draws me to you? Alyse, a rose of another color A harmony of friend and lover Within the center of your world You fight the battles, flag unfurled Reaching out in desperation Look to outside salvation From everyone you love Hoping that it's true The love you gave comes back to you Well, here we are We've never been this far And we'll never be right here again But this time and place are just illusions Adding to, releasing from, the delusion That there's a real conclusion To this mess and confusion When all the world lies quiet, still And the love we share has been fulfilled Then we'll know the peace of mind That leaves all reality behind
