Deep Blue
How those days of happiness I long after...
Once peaceful with no care in this world
Like wind she swayed to her own rhythm
She listened to the songs that played endlessly in her mind,
Those songs brought joy and a smile upon her face
Nothing could bring her down,
She sat on the shore whispering her secrets into the timeless sea,
She shared her desires with the depths of the blue
For she knew only the sea would understand
It has caring eyes and patience of time,
It carries knowledge and wisdom of ages
It has seen and felt war and heartbreak just like she has...
As she spilled her dreams into the sea
It shared with her its secrets and sorrows,
She carried the pain of the world on her shoulders
When no one else would understand
She knew the sea would always be there to listen,
It's all she had left...
How those days I miss,
I wish that I could see you again
To tell you my secrets that I've hidden for years
I wish that I could look into your deep blue eyes
Those understanding compassionate eyes,
And I want you to stay by my side and scare away those demons
With every wave that hits the rocks
I want you to tell them what they can't imagine,
I want you to show them what they can't see....
If only I could tell you my secrets
Maybe life would make sense again
Maybe the skies would clear up and I would see the sun break
And maybe if I closed my eyes and wished,
Maybe I would open them to see that I've never left,
I would open my eyes and see that I've fallen asleep on your shores
And I knew I was safe because
I knew you would never leave me,
And all this was a dream,
And all these were your secrets that you were sharing with me
And your fear is that I leave you
I' m sorry I left you even in a dream,
But I am here now and I'm never falling asleep again...
