When I come back
will you be there to hold me?
Not long,
just a moment to soothe
aching nerves and my tired soul...
Give the loving words
I long to hear
from one
so dear to me now...as always
So far
I have travelled so far
but the reason was not clear
I echoed out the cry
only to hear it
bouncing back lonliness
It was the only answer
Walk the corridors to my rooms
and fall in step...
dark ramblings
with the castles of air
of then and now
Shadows come and go
touching me briefly
passing lightly
Too much (sorrow)
wells up and it
taints my dance
I light a candle for you
burning it bright in the window
light in our storms
light for your way
Pulling back from desperation
I walk the sea foam
gazing into the hems of the oceans' skirt
The decoration and finery of small shells
seaweed embroiders the story of us in her gown
The sea is lifting me
in the shallows
to lay me soft on your shores
silent at your feet
Gather me there, my Love
Away from the lights and stage door exits
lift me away to the fires and warm furs
where I can sleep in peace
perhaps a small time together
without dramas and wars
Claim me as your own and heal this weary soul.
