last night I dreamed I slept
in a the crook of your arm
when I awoke, I was just 
a rocking boat on the ocean of dawn
I am sailing carefully 
through a sea of blinking eyes
with compass maps and charts to plot
when yours will look on mine
the north wind tastes like freedom
and the south a salty skin of a man
and I'm praying for sight of land
there are days when the mere want of your face 
hits me like stormy gales
oh could the darkness know just
how lovely she'd glow if the moon would prevail
still I keep my sails at mast
but sometimes I don't know what for
I fear the wind won't come to carry me
to that blessed shore
but each red blinking sunset
looks like home swallowing despair
so I'm following it there
here I can see all these beautiful colors
as they hand on the clouds
and welcome the stars
and know one day we will watch them together
but for now I pray for you
that they're just as beautiful there
where you are
the sea brings joy and longing
the wind sorrow and peace
the sky brings retribution
and the branch of an olive tree
so I will keep my eyes on the horizon
and my face to the wide open blue
as I'm sailing on to you
I will keep my eyes on the horizon
and my face to the wide open blue
as I'm sailing on to you
