in these years
I've fallen far from your grace
hoping with distance I'd be safe
with the pretenses of my heart
I bought your love
and tried to pass it off as my own
but I know what I've done now
I know where I am now
I know how far I'll go
waste my life
in your arms
waste away
by your side
saved I'm lost
devil may care
the only colors I could
ever tell apart
are in the curves and shadows of your skin
the only sound that I could
make any sense of
is your whisper in my ear
waste my life
in your arms
waste away
by your side
sell my soul
in your name
saved I'm lost
devil may care

pretty in a tired kind of way
you dress like you'd wish to remain
unseen by others
like your books
under covers
didn't think that I'd be drawn to
someone so ordinary
but like you
I didn't choose these dreams
my dreams chose me
Rose closes her eyes
disappears in between the lines
in words out of reason or rhyme
and I'm nothing she would ever want
'cause us creatures of flesh and blood
don't easily seem to agree
with what you are
so walk through the crowd
walk on now through the crowd
walk right past everyone
walk on through
stay unharmed
walk right past
remain untouched
you don't need my heart
you don't want my hand
you need a witness
you want to show what you've seen
an undiscovered land
a home out of time
out of place
home without faces or names
without lives
and she quietly passes me by
doesn't notice that I'm at her side
doesn't see it's not me
from whom she needs to hide
but I know I can never be
as real as her make believe
as true as what awaits
out in her dreams
Rose opens her eyes
spreads her wings open wide
runs head to head with the wind
to take flight
and when she's vanished up in the sky
we'll remember her sometimes
and I'll tell
how she once was one of us

son
you're old enough to know
there's more to fear
than what is shown
I've seen
a world outside these walls
it will lift you high
and let you fall
and when the dark is creeping up
I hope you'll turn and run right back
and the sins you carry in your blood
I'll share and cradle in my arms
don't look
your hand is in the shadow
one step
and you are sure to follow
your heart
would lie
would weigh you down
take mine
'cause you can't make it without
I taught you kindness
taught you doubt
and still you wanted to find out
I nursed you close
kept you in shelter
yet you went looking for another
but when your pulse begins to race
remember that this is your place
and those you've met
the things you've seen
don't matter here
alone with me
don't look
you're standing in the shadow
one step
and I can't surely follow
your heart
would lie
would weigh you down
take mine
'cause I can do without

OCEAN SKY
http://www.sestina.fi/audio.html
under the ocean sky
you drown in sighs
you remember
sometimes
under the ocean sky
steps that cross the shoreline
are taken by the tide
and by dawn
you'll be gone
and close the door
head on out
and sink the oars
drift on with the flow
with the autumn tide
you leave your home
come morning light
you leave the shore
follow until you're lost
under the ocean sky
you miss but can't recall
her eyes and how she smiled
when she thought that no-one saw
and how she used to lay
awake before the dawn
in a bedroom full of flowers
with a window out to sea
you gave out for the waves
that dress she never wore
quit hoping many times
until one day you saw
with shards of wood and quills
it washed back on the shore
white as it ever was
her hair caught in its straps
take me down
take me below
show me where
the rivers are born
take me down
take me below
show me where
the buried go
