I stand upon the ledge overlooking the world And I wish that I had wings I try to fly, try to sail away Into the comfort of your dreams But just like all the times before I can't keep this air beneath me So here I am now, just a broken man Pieces of the wreckage I knew I'd be
I walk upon the edge of the ocean And I let the tides heal my wounded feet My footprints along this shoreline Have become a history incomplete But the horizon turns the pages On all my forgotten days So here I am, a broken man As the waves carry me away
It feels so cold out here tonight My warmth has all but floated away It's been quiet here out on the water But the voice in my soul has more to say I'm still here, still the same broken man Pieces of the wreckage I knew I'd be But after all this, barely adrift, barely alive Did I find you, in the remains of me?
Old poem, written many years and many reasons ago.
