Precious Sanity from Favorite Imperfections by Dan Vaillancourt

Precious Sanity –February 9, 2021

Oh precious sanity
Won't you come back to me?
Calloused fingers on strings
Muscle memory
Melodies writing
Themselves again

CHORUS:
What are the origins?
Where did is it originate?
You'd think I'd know what I was doing
But I rarely do

Inspiration come to me
Limitations be damned
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
Pen to paper, paper to pen
Ink stains on my hands

Meditate on the task at hand
No thoughts in my head
I've reached nirvana, I surely have
Blank slate, final state
Then back to reality
More practice, I must need

Waiting on the day, to get some clarity
I wait and wait and wait... and then wait and wait and wait
A patient man's game, a game for the sane

Oh my precious sanity
Won't you come back to me?
