Hornsby, Bruce - Halcyon Days Lyrics
Bright light streaming in, through my window pane
Think I'll stare at the shapes it makes
on the floor and then stare again
You've got your curtains drawn,
anything I can do?
To carry you away
Let me bring you, some tokens of esteem
Close the door on the world, make it our own beautiful scene
There's a darkness visible, maybe only to me
Maybe just a dream, a time-slowing-down dream,
a hole you're sinking down deep
Comes loose at the seams, make the dream leave
Some rise by wrong
And some by virtue fall
Wash it all away
I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray,
some halcyon days
Feel a strong gravitational pull, holding you down
And the air feels thick, having a hard time
moving through, moving round
I'm hoping you may let me, help to pull you through
You're here so you might as well let me see
If I can do that for you
Carry you away
Feeling so helpless, mostly I'm a clown
Every now and then gotten so even
up can feel like down
In the hour of my reflection, I've had enough of disaffection
Like a starless sky, no light in our eyes
Maybe change this tonight, some brighter times, some lovely rhymes
Some rise by wrong
And some by virtue fall
And those in judgment could be guiltiest of all
Wash it away
I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray,
some halcyon days
Maybe just a dream, some ever-present dream, evanescent scenes
It could seem so for me, this is for me
Some rise by wrong
And some by virtue fall
And those in judgment could be guiltiest of all
Wash it away
I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray,
some halcyon days

Been a fan since The Way It Is........
Bright light streaming in through my window pane
Think I'll stare at the shapes it makes
On the floor and then stare again
You've got your curtains drawn
Anything I can do?
Maybe a rose or a pillow or a picture
Or a funny joke just for you
To carry you away
Let me bring you some tokens of esteem
Close the door on the world
Make it our own beautiful scene
There's a darkness visible, maybe only to me
Maybe just a dream, a time-slowing-down dream
A hole you're sinking down deep
Comes loose at the seams, make the dream leave
Some rise by wrong
And some by virtue fall
And those convicting may be the guilitiest of all
Wash it away
I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray
Some halcyon days
Feel a strong gravitational pull holding you down
And the air feels thick, having a hard time
Moving through, moving 'round
I'm hoping you may let me help to pull you through
You're here, so you might as well let me see
If I can do that for you
Carry you away
Feeling so helpless, mostly I'm a clown
Every now and then gotten so even
Up can feel like down
In the hour of my reflection
I've had enough of disaffection
Like a starless sky, no light in our eyes
Maybe change this tonight
Some brighter times, some lovely rhymes
Some rise by wrong
And some by virtue fall
And those in judgment could be guiltiest of all
Wash it away
I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray
Some halcyon days
Maybe just a dream, some ever-present dream, evanescent scenes
It could seem so for me, this is for me
Some rise by wrong
And some by virtue fall
And those in judgment could be guiltiest of all
Wash it away
I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray
Some halcyon days
What a lovely lovely song. I'm on a big Hornsby trip right now.
Oh my gosh. One of my favorite songs of all time. THANK YOU!
So sad I missed this show in Carmel, Ca....he just gets better!
Bruce, please consider making an official video for this song.
Danke vielmal für die wundervolle Musik. LG
As Bruce mentioned at the beginning of the song, he wrote it for his wife, Kathy. Might this explain why Bruce had Sting sing on the album version of this song? Bruce has jokingly mentioned in the past how Kathy very much enjoyed sitting next to Sting at the Grammy awards :)
Beautiful
As a young person (20), I wish more people my age could enjoy and appreciate your music as much as I do. Love that you uploaded this and wish you would come play in Texas!
TJ Shull im thankful that my kids enjoy hearing what I share with them. My 15 year old daughter asked me to play this again, then I found it on her playlist!
Beautiful music my friend!
I was lucky enough to see him do this solo live. Thanks for uploading :-)
I’m relatively new to your music, but I do enjoy playing them, from one piano player to an other!
Love this!!!!
So beautiful for this afternoon.
