A beacon of hope, you came to me
A lighthouse found before I drowned at sea
All along I was searching for some meaning
Praying for more than the life I'd been leading
North, East
West and South
Lost in many ways
Possible
Tracks erased
I’m following a small star
Trying to find
Where you are
The stars make a play of calling out your name
I use airplanes for wishes and your voice to stay sane
Dream catchers cast shadows along every wall
I try hard to stand upright yet I usually fall
Every day that passes by
It kinda ***** knowing
Time still lies
60 minutes that runs so fast
While savoring
Moments that don’t really last
Dancing beneath a matching sunrise
Kindred souls and kaleidoscope eyes
Gliding like feathers in a world of anchors
Crafted this safe haven in a life of danger
Time, sweet time
Not really caring
Just handing out limes
I’m just a shadow
Blown around by the wind
Till the signs show up
And now we’re intertwined
Another coffee so late as wait 'til tomorrow
Meeting again like the sky greets the sparrow
First time I saw you, I knew I'd met my truth
The stars aligned on time, and then I saw you
