Mulberry Sheen

I wrote this song when I was 19 years old for a soulmate I had not yet met. I revisited it and it was edited in 2026. For some reason when I did the edits on Vocal and tried to repost it was denied for lack of words so I’m adding some filler. Hope you enjoy ☺️

Verse 1:

Undone—,

I've been a little lost, a little mis-guided.

I walked on.

Ignored the sneers, the glares;

I kept silent.

Made mistakes,

I'm sure, were all guilty of plen-ty

Erase this dirt;

Gently cleanse our memories.

Speak truth,

We can all find inn—ocence—;

Beneath a thin layer of silk.

You better un-tie;

Those knots have you ta—ngled—

Lay down,

And let the satin sheets soothe.

(Instrumentals Build)

Be still—,

Just breath for a moment.

Rest well—;

Find answers in your dreams.

Time heals;

Scars are there to remind us of battle.

Be strong;

I know you are stronger than me.

Rough ti-mes’

Been driving us cra-z—y—,

A buzzing mind can find

Some peace tonight.

Hold on;

To the few that will gui-de you—,

Lay down;

Let the satin sheets soothe.

Chorus:

It’s been a long day

And I know that we're both restless;

Set those thoughts aw—ay—

As life continues on to test us.

Somewhere far aw—ay—

We'll find the answers;

But for now

Lay down—

Somewhere safe and sound;

Entangled in mulberry sheen,

With me—

Just breathe.

Verse 2:

Soft skin,

Car-ess me gently—

Slow down,

The body is an art.

Those hands can touch till it t—ingles,

Life's short,

But we've made it this far.

We've grieved;

I know that you felt me—

(and) I try to fight the demons inside.

I let go;

(and) free-fell with you gratefully,

Inhaled;

And the satin silk soothed.

Oh, I smile,

Each day to a stranger—,

Close my eyes and sing in the sun.

Listen to

The words the wind whis—pers—,

I know our two aging souls feel

Younger as one.

Scream loud!;

At the top of a mountain—,

We’re home,

Where the snow glimmers

And touches the sky.

I have faith

You are the north star

Meant to light my path,

When I dance

With my toes in the ocean; and

My heals in the sand.

Chorus:

Babe It’s been a long day

And I know that we're both restless;

Set those thoughts aw—ay—

As life continues on to test us.

Somewhere far aw—ay—

We'll find the answers;

But for now

Lay down—

You know you’re safe and sound;

Entangled in mulberry sheen,

With me—

Just breathe.

Yaaaa—yaaa—yaa—a

(Piano/Instrumental Interlude)

Verse 3:

(Whisper)

Soft skin,

I'll caress you ge-ntl—y,

Cloaked in crimson and cre-am

I know your body is an art.

These hands;

Swam bare in crystalline wa—ter—s,

Rest your head on my chest;

Feel my heart.

Breath deep;

I'll always quiver ben-eath you—

Grant me grace while I

Release these painful demons inside.

Take my hand;

Plummet with me while we drift off

To Felic—ity—,

Dream now;

Let the satin silk soo—the.

Chorus:

Babe It’s been a long day

And I know that we're both restless;

Set those thoughts aw—ay—

As life continues on to test us.

Somewhere far aw—ay—

We'll find the answers;

But for now

Lay down—

You know you’re safe and sound;

Entangled in mulberry sheen,

With me—

Repeat Corus:

Yes it’s been a long day

And I know that we're both restless;

Set those thoughts aw—ay—

As life continues on to test us.

Somewhere far aw—ay—

We'll find the answers;

But for now

Lay down—

You know you’re safe and sound;

Cloaked in crimson and cream,

With me—

Just breathe.
