Which came from you
And brought your gift out of the blue
When I awoke
She's perched up there
With ink which I must now review
So a star course
And the shore end
Gulls baptize me new again
And I alive
So rig the sails
We're out of breath but 'round the bend.
Then sinking ship
Into her sea
Were capsized by a gentle breeze
The pounding wave
The swim to shore
So warm, so wet, but still we breathe
A gentle sleep
A sunburn bare
They melt into your angry stare
The rushing surf
Is only still
When I awake and still you're there
And I again
All locked away
So that they would not all decay
Or sacrificed
To one false step
A match, a flame, a rainy day
You've lost your boat
Marooned at sea
An island that I cannot leave
Go build your raft
Or swim astray
The tides will bring you back to me.
