Guts, oh my guts. Twist and shut when you wake up. It's day for you and night for me; midnight noon across the sea. I don't think you understand. I saw down palms each by hand. carving out a little boat, so I can sail the sea and bring you home. A sail I've sewn-needles and pins, a home carved rudder, a lust for wind. Sunset beaches where I sleep next to fire's dying heat. I can't wait for the feeling of waves as I sail out to find you far far away.
2. The sea was cruel, storming heavens, grey black course on the tradewinds. I found you sleeping in your bed curled up warm (dream filled head). Reaching up to tap the rain, dripping on your window pane. A smile, a moment of worry and fear...don't worry please I love you dear. I tried to sleep through storming rain, but I wasΒ Β just happy to see your face.
3. Morning came When you awoke The sun came up In rays of hope I said my love Is like the sea I want you to Come home with me You said You see Just like the sea I can tell your love is deep But I'm a girl You're a boy That boat You built is just a toy So turn around Go back home The only place you've ever known You go there I'll stay here Your love is deep Not wide my dear
III. I must admit I cried a bit as the mast filled with homeward wind. I watched your window getting smaller as waves took me out further and further. You never knew that I was lost at sea, but I guess that's where I'm meant to be.
