Peace

Cold Stella in his hand
Looking like a statue
That Di Vinci carved
Those eyes like gems
Buried in sand
Dancing like it's
Just us in an empty bar

And they say love is beautiful
But beauty's a mirage
That wields a sword
And I thought love was cheap
But it costs much more
Than heart to win a war

Can't count on my fingers
Every way he's saved me
He's oxygen in my lungs
When it's hard to breathe
He's simply peace

Warm familiar fingers in my palm
Sounding like a song I wrote
In my dreams last night
The curve of his shoulders in the calm
Arching like a cruel wave
In the breaking light

And they say love is beautiful
But beauty's a moment
Shedding off the dark
And I thought love
Was fragile flames
But it's bright enough
To burn and leave a mark

Can't count on my fingers
Every way he's saved me
He's oxygen in my lungs
When it's hard to breathe
He's simply peace

There's hope through the pain
Sunshine through the rain
When he holds me
Daybreak after night and
Calm after fights
'Cause he has me
There is beauty in love
And it's never enough
Yet still I see
That peace borne from blood
Is forged strong to the touch
Like an oak tree

And they say love is beautiful
But beauty is a tale so over-told
Still love is like a fine red wine
Tasting sweeter as years pass
And we grow old

Can't count on my fingers
Every way he's saved me
He's oxygen in my lungs
When it's hard to breathe
He's simply
