No Gnashing Teeth

Eric Matthews


though it's good to know you I can see that
there's a sadness there that leaks of danger
if autumn feels good leave tomorrow
read the simple signs and live today

our lives have filled the streams of need
sin's freedom has got you on your knees

I've got two dreams
one for you and me
closeness of any kind is best
not closeness for closeness sake at best

it's more than good to know you I confess
more pleasures any man could beg your best

don't judge too quickly see my crest
just inside you might sense detest

not yet today
unexpected plague
judgment of any kind's a pest
surrender of any kind is blessed

now it's time to see that we keep standing
on the truth that's building everyone
Lord give me strength and play tomorrow
like a man or girl who's got no guns

can't I just take what I believe
between some demons I made grieve

no gnashing teeth
'cause I'm all belief
closeness of any kind is best
not closeness for closeness sake, at best

though it's good to know you I can see that
there's a sadness there that leaks of danger
if autumn feels good leave tomorrow
read the simple signs and live today

our lives have filled the streams of need
sin's freedom has got you on your knees

I've got two dreams
one for you and me
closeness of any kind is best
not closeness for closeness sake, at best
