I sailed around the world
Not in search of a single possession or claim
With the wind at my sails, I seek a single name
I met her once as a child
I remember her picturesque smile
As I recall, it may have not been this lifetime at all
But I remember you
So clear, so true
Like the diamond I spent my younger years at play
Untouchable, between home and first base
A sanctuary from all I was without
An excuse, a relief, from ever having to shout
It was in my blood like I feel you now
Not sure how it happened but I found you somehow
Bumps and bruises, battered paths – broken truces
There is no straight line between today and tomorrow
No clear cut path between realizing dreams and sweet sorrow
Always a bit of this, a bit of that
Fading truth, few matters of fact
I am only certain of what my heart hides behind a curtain
Drawn to you
From worlds away
Sailing the seven seas – in a single day
Tropical storms, white squalls and water falls
Sea monsters, Cyclops, and even triceratops
No danger too steep
Through my navigation there is but one thing I need
A key to one treasure
With riches unmeasured
The depths of a heart I seek to unravel
The length of the world to win a single battle
For your hopes, your dreams, your tears, and your screams
To bring to life and dampen when you strife
To be in your eyes when you sleep at night
And in your heart when you’re out of sight
In your smile, even when it’s been hidden for a while
In a fallen tear, when it falls for joy that is finally here
A kiss, I’d give eternities not to miss
A promise, to be your constant
And lastly, a wish, that when you fall asleep and dream each night you stare off into the horizon hoping for this very site.
