I wrote this during covid lockdown to remind myself of the the good life I had to keep me sane.

lyrics

Solace

Savory mushroom in red wine garlic sauce
Olive oil and butter
With angel hair tossed
Keeps me here, keeps me here
Living without a care.

Dogs ears pop up, tuned in to the sound
Thunder in the distance, trembling in the ground
Red flash of blackbird wing
Keeps me here
Not wanting anything.

There’s solace in the savory mushroom
Solace in warm breezes of June
Solace in my baby’s laugh
Hope we find some relief soon, at last.

Outside the window, it all looks the same.
Everything feels different, everything changed

My Love’s eyes gaze into my own
Lay my head on her warm lap,
Soothing to the core.
Keeps me here, keeps me here
Living without a care.

There’s solace in the savory mushroom
Solace in warm breezes of June
Solace in my baby’s laugh
Hope we find some relief soon, at last.

about

Albert Rouzie Athens, Ohio

Songs range from offbeat fantasy to focused realism and love songs somewhere in between. I have three albums out, and one, Late for the War, due out in Jan. 2023. ... more
