oh my gosh, Michael.This song is really amazing. No I'm sorry...its not amazing. Its more than that. I'm crying right now.. :')

I love the way you sing, your unique voice, your intonations, the way to use the words and rhymes to emphasize the message and the beauty of your song. Burl Ives comes to mind.

Love your song, voice, and lyrics! It's a beautiful, emotional song. Great job!

Very Nice! Great song and great delivery.

Great imagery in the lyrics. Wonderful song.

Lay It All Down
by Michael B. Short © 2014

I admire your playing
Alone upon the stage there
No one here is listening
They're talking sports and day care
I've got this table to myself
And I hear every song
Will you play one for me

Chorus
Sing one 
That's soft and slow
Sweet and low
That no one knows
That reaches
Deep inside
Where my heart hides
And no one goes
Lay it all down
Lay it all down 
For me

My heart's been packed on ice
Even I don't visit
Frozen solid to stop the pain
No way to live life, is it?
Is there a song that you can sing
Born of deep despair
Will you play it for me

Chorus

If I can't stop the tears that's good, right?
If I hide my face and cry all night

Chorus
