Want to sail you to an island
That doesn't have a name
Hold you in the sunshine
Listen to the waves for a year or two

But all I'm trying to say darlin' is I just want peace for you

Lyrics
PEACE FOR YOU
Written by Chris Koch
If I could point out all your favorite stars
Command them to descend
Poor out perfect pearls to fill your eyes so deep and blue
If I could send you rolling ripples
Lasting hours upon end
It wouldn't even matter 'cause I just want peace for you
If I could show the world you're worthy
Of recognition and acclaim
If I could make sure every time you speak
You're being listened to
If I could guarantee your victories
Your success and your fame
I'd just trade it all in, 'cause I just want peace for you
I would scatter all your demons
Drive your dark of doubt away
I would buy for you a decade
Where every day's a lovely day
I would have you clear and brite
And spending hours in reverie
And larger than your trials
Like I knew you once to be
Like I knew you once to be
There's only one dream left
That I can call my own
But it's not for myself
Oh, no.
Want to sail you to an island
That doesn't have a name
Hold you in the sunshine
Listen to the waves for a year or two
Then we'll search for buried innocence
Which we'll joyfully reclaim
But all I'm trying to say darlin' is I just want peace for you
I want nothing for my self sugar I just want peace for you
I want peace for you sweetness, wanna chase your clouds away
