Discipline

[Intro]

[Verse]
The morning tide is creeping slow
Across the sand where the palms all bow
No need to rush, no place to be
Just the salt air blowing from the sea
The kettle hums a steady tune
Underneath a golden afternoon
I’m anchored down in this easy chair
With the scent of jasmine in the air

[Chorus]
Let the heavy worries drift away
Like a piece of driftwood in the bay
Keep it steady, keep it light
Everything is gonna be alright
Just a simple life, a simple frame
No more chasing shadows, no more blame

[Verse]
The neighbor’s porch is painted blue
Where the mango falls and the grass is new
He’s humming low a melody
Sharing shade beneath the cedar tree
We don’t talk about the passing time
Or the mountain peaks we used to climb
The valley floor is sweet enough
Far away from all the jagged stuff

[Chorus]
Let the heavy worries drift away
Like a piece of driftwood in the bay
Keep it steady, keep it light
Everything is gonna be alright
Just a simple life, a simple frame
No more chasing shadows, no more blame

[Bridge]
Softly now, the evening settles in
Where the ocean ends and the stars begin
The fireflies are dancing on the vine
Telling me that everything is fine
[Solo]

[Chorus]
Let the heavy worries drift away
Like a piece of driftwood in the bay
Keep it steady, keep it light
Everything is gonna be alright
Just a simple life, a simple frame
No more chasing shadows, no more blameKeep it steady
Keep it light
In the cooling air
Of the island night
Going slow now
Just going slow...
