“Boats and Valleys”

I need a boat that can manage the sea
I need a valley with woods free to roam
I need a sweet memory between you and me
I need a lost dog that will follow me home

These are the things that live in my dreams
The unpolished diamonds, pieces of gold
These are the things that live to be seen
These are the things that my heart longs to hold

I search for the moments of love’s simple smile
I cling to the wind that blows through the trees
I relish the laughter in all of life’s trials
I hold close the sorrows that yet set me free

I’ll wait for an angel who can color my dreams
I’ll look for a fire and a hearth to call home
I’ll need that companion who’ll lay at my feet
I’ll need that sweet valley with woods free to roam

These are the shadows that live in my heart
These are the places where the winds always blows
Hard shards of granite, pieces of bark
Boats on the river that carry me home
