James Friedman
When I think about you
I can see the miles that are laid out in time before me
And when you smile
I can feel the leaves break free from the branches
To flutter in the breeze as my heart shudders with its strings
Sometimes when I steer
And the flame in my lungs outpaces the fire in my sail
I leave it to my heart to keep going
And I imagine that I’m coming to see you standing there at the end
And suddenly I keep on floating
For miles more
There are times in my life when I stand confused
Like a ship anchored without a shore
But baby if I am to continue on sailing
Then it is no burden to explore the sea with you
So often I find sitting, I find sleeping, and blue
But in your eyes I see clearly just what I really need to do
I’ll cross every ocean
go every mile
If it means coming home to you
Our home stretches between a space that fills the sea
Under darkness and daybreak
Sky under water
Light over streams
Float with me
Float with me
