Indigo Girls
"Peace Tonight"

Words and Music: Emily Saliers

Honey pick the red corner shoes
The ones that hardly ever get used
I knelt in front of my whole collection
I'm picking you a special selection
On a no news is good news middle of mid year day
I feel no ill with time to kill I wanna play

Let's make peace tonight
The moon is bare and shining bright
Let's make peace tonight in a good time

Callin' on my good friends today
You know the drive's about an hour away
We'll be packing up a tent by the trees
We'll be wading in the river to our knees
Oh now love's been planted & we're checking out the yield
Two black dogs and a white one running through the field

Let's make peace tonight
The moon is bare and shining bright
Let's make peace tonight in a good time

We used to have some money but we spent it
So when we want to have it then we rent it
But we're cuttin' up the rug and I know you love me love me
And the best of everything here is free
Oh when things get messy then we tidy up the room
We'll be no stranger to the dustpan and the broom

Let's make peace tonight
The moon is bare and shining bright
Let's make peace tonight
The moon is bare and shining bright
Let's make peace tonight in a good time
