Shoreline

Blue shadows at my window pane As night comes swooping down I gaze at the horizon as it stretches over town And get lost in the distances That roll on like my thoughts To the places I would travel with my love A night breeze blows in circles Through the atmosphere My eyes have seen the changes of another year; Solitude and silence walk the spaces of my heart Where these blues have made their new home And loss has made its mark And the words in my mind speak of far away, another life When the love in our eyes was sweet, still felt good to me; When the tides of emotion bore us on their waves To some distant shoreline that grows fainter day by day Which star amongst the billions can help me navigate My way across this unknown world, which light illuminate The places of my passing, the contents of my thoughts Before weariness invades my bones and deep sleep finally calls? Darkness and I fly above the town To the edges of the ocean I am bound To the edges of the solid earth I will travel And above the waters I'll fly towards tomorrow
