The blackest of nights
Seem to wither and wilt
With winters blue bite
And under the cold sheets
Our conversation and feeble attempts
Seem to have grown trite

Tell me one more time
That we will explore the world
And ride the wave’s gracious tide…
Tell me one more time….
Everything will be alright

Her hair is the sun on my face
Flooding our room with angelic grace
Her words are little breaths of life
Stealing air from my lungs
As I sink into white water fright

Mend and sooth
In and out
Moving in between
56 grams of soul
And a faint beat
In the hall
That coincides with
My metronome,
Lost in thought,
Wishing to feel
Home

Tell me one more time
That we will explore the world
And ride the wave’s gracious tide
Tell me one more time….
Everything will be alright….

Count our blessings
As if counting sheep
We cast ourselves
Upon heavy masts
Bound for sleep…
Dream with me
Dream of me
Be with me
Stay with me….
All I ever wanted
Was for you to
Believe in me…
