Atlas

Gently wakingA final skyward sighPlease, send me safely homeIt's almost timeGoodbyeLay me downThe ocean at my windowHere I find myself againAll broken bones and eyes that wear their ageLike going home is etched on every pageFragile AtlasHe carries that old smileHe will stay his weary armsTo just lay down a whileLay me downThe ocean at my windowHere I find myself againAll broken bones and eyes that wear their ageLike going home is etched on every pageNo!Won't accept that's the way I go(By my) quiet hand, sinking slowWon't accept that's the way it ends(Won't you) stay like stone and mendI'll wear the words like Atlas, never said The dayI chose to stayI wish I could have shared just a fraction of the peace that I found thenMy friendThe ocean at my windowHere I find myself againAll broken bones and eyes that wear their ageLike going home is etched on every page
