Terry Murphy: Music

The Mistress (Terry Murphy)

~The simple truth is that music interferes with relationships. ~

Music is my mistress
It keeps me away
I love it in your arms
But I love it when I play
The songs bouncin’ round
From inside my head
The mistress is calling
The mistress needs a bed

And I guess I’ve been a long time away
And I wish there was something I could say

Singin’ out loud
For the prairie moon
Settin’ pace with the wind
I’ll be home soon
Gotta stone in my shoe
And a hole in my boot
With a song in my heart
and a hold of the loot

And I guess I’ve been a long time away
And I wish there was something I could say

Lying here between the two
Knowing what’s inside of you
Let it go...let it go

It’s late in the evening
My bedside is cold
You left the light on
I’ll be singin’ til I’m old
I lay down beside you
You’ll move in your sleep
The mistress is gone
Our secrets to keep

And I guess I’ve been a long time away
And I wish there was something I could say
