Stories you told, they stuck with me
In my field trips through your memories
I loved to learn the places you'd been.

Places unlike anything I've seen,
Brought to life through storytelling
From France to the Indies; the top of Mount Washington.  

Now today, times change and pass you by
Like cars on the street at night
Yet you never seem to mind.

Your stories that never grow old,
In the aged leather bindings of your soul
Will rest peacefully between you and me.

Time it seems, it learns to dream
When the world keeps on turning
As the pages in your book are running out of ink.

Time it seems, has been kind to me
As I've keep my youth steadily
In kind with the rhyme and the reason
Of your bones.

Time it seems, will catch up to me
Some point before eternity,
In kind, with the rhyme and the reason,
Of your bones.
We could have been great,
Oh you and I.
The carpenters of fate,
Carving lines in halcyon skies.
Scar tissue blue
Vapour clouding the eyes.
Bound
To the flight of hyperborean tides,
Mythical winds of the north.
Yet their chill is real
Wrapped in the cloth
Of pride and zeal.
Confide,
While calm in the shaded riverside.
Forever chasing rainbows
Over moors and mountainside.
No cauldrons of gold
Just archaic rocks and stones
Buried by the weight
Of fallen bones.

I've been learning to embrace your child.
When he is screaming and pushing away,
it is hard but I let him know that I love him.
And I know he wont ever show it,
but he's crying inside.
And he'll pull the blankets over him
after locking me out of his room.
And I'll knock of few times,
but I've got to be at work soon.
I know he hates when I go
but he needs the space.
I know he's always tired, hungry
and medicated.
I know he has friends but he's lonely.
There's this little girl sobbing at his window
but he chooses to pretend she isn't real.
She would keep him company
but she knows that you hate her.
Never wanted her enough
to even give up on her.
So even though I'm learning
to embrace the little boy,
I've got to go.
The little girl in me is lonelier
and she will love me back.
