Sighing Sea
All this time this slow dance of you and me
In the big city or by the sea
within that slow tact of well~wishing
within that inner sigh
in the depth of your eye...
'Let me dream', you said
within reach
as the fireflies put us all to bed
without you every third heartbeat was a tear
hidden or would just appear....
You slowdanced me into the place I never knew
warm hidden neath the summer shadows with you
let me ease your burden, let me sigh all problems away
oh darling I brought you the seashell that whispers ocean deep,
please stay.
