My ship has sailed, but has it really? There’s too much, too many of uncertain feelings And the storm in the robes of a lamb What is missed, does wet mean pleased? Four-leaved clover, it’s over My ship has sailed, I’m lost at sea Or am I the sea, too large to see me..? I wanted to care but I cared way too much The way to nowhere, the rays you can touch Burning bright, burning, burned over with grace Bear with me, I’ll carry thee You’ll be the ship And I’ll be the waves The waves, the waves The protector of the commotion Humor me, human slow as the wide oceans Blue in the face that never gets too green Inhuman remains hidden behind screens Protective smoke and the mirrors Mirrored to never get clearer I wanted to be there, I was way too much Getting there, got nowhere, the whole world to watch The bright star to follow to forget starts But bear with me, I’ll carry thee You’ll be the ship And I’ll be the waves The waves, the waves The ship, the waves, the golden shore views The ship, the waves, the forever cruise I wanted to care but I cared way too much The way to nowhere, the rays you can touch Burning bright, burning, burned over with grace Bear with me, I’ll carry thee You’ll be the ship And I’ll be the waves The waves, the waves Bear with me, I’ll carry thee Until you’ll be the ship Until I’ll be the waves Carry me always

The Ship and the Waves
My ship has sailed, but has it really? There’s too much, too many of uncertain feelings And the storm in the robes of a lamb What is missed, does wet mean pleased? Four-leaved clover, it’s over My ship has sailed, I’m lost at sea Or am I the sea, too large to see me..? I wanted to care but I cared way too much The way to nowhere, the rays you can touch Burning bright, burning, burned over with grace Bear with me, I’ll carry thee You’ll be the ship And I’ll be the waves The waves, the waves The protector of the commotion Humor me, human slow as the wide oceans Blue in the face that never gets too green Inhuman remains hidden behind screens Protective smoke and the mirrors Mirrored to never get clearer I wanted to be there, I was way too much Getting there, got nowhere, the whole world to watch The bright star to follow to forget starts But bear with me, I’ll carry thee You’ll be the ship And I’ll be the waves The waves, the waves The ship, the waves, the golden shore views The ship, the waves, the forever cruise I wanted to care but I cared way too much The way to nowhere, the rays you can touch Burning bright, burning, burned over with grace Bear with me, I’ll carry thee You’ll be the ship And I’ll be the waves The waves, the waves Bear with me, I’ll carry thee Until you’ll be the ship Until I’ll be the waves Carry me always
Lately, most of my poems turn to songs, songs to pictures, and pictures to dust :) https://youtu.be/hj5Y6eGIOg4 andtilly.com
