Maverick Gleam

Music & Lyrics: M.L. Hammond

this is a song for you
though perhaps some others will hear
this is a song for you
when you can’t be near

now I don’t want to play the poet
or the clever clown
just want to take hold of these feelings
and pin them down

’cause maybe it’s just a mirage that I’m seeing
some maverick gleam
a trick of the way the light falls in a dream

oh I’ve never seen eyes like yours
brown in a circle of blue
like the sky ’round the earth
when the sun comes shining through

and when you turn those eyes to me
well I hardly know what to do
I see the sky ’round the earth
I see me in a circle of you

but maybe it’s just a mirage that I’m seeing
some maverick gleam
a trick of the way the light falls in a dream

well you know that I’m hard to live with
sometimes I’m downright mean
but you make me feel I could love you
love you like you’ve never seen

and I thought it was just a mirage, oh
some maverick gleam
a trick of the way the light falls in a dream

but I think finally this time
I can trust the view
see how the light holds steady
when it’s coming from you

so this is a song for you
though perhaps some others will hear
this is a song for you
when you can’t be near
