lyrics

away for weeks a time
be still my worried mind
want to turn back for home
to end my stay alone

what would you think if i didn't stay as long as you?
what would you say if i didn't want to be with you?

hours away from you, how i know my love is true
distance just makes it grow
my patience, i don't know

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i had traded all my guts
for some lanterns in the wind
made a face up at the sky
took your hand on a whim
thought alone and silently
about that which was to come
but you fell out of my reach
like a river surely runs

told you what i felt inside
rather than just saving it
figured i should be facing it
figured i should be saying it
your reaction a mystery
and the words you said to me
stay floating in my brain
like a raft among the sea

.....[.]
