in these years
I've fallen far from your grace
hoping with distance I'd be safe

with the pretenses of my heart
I bought your love
and tried to pass it off as my own

but I know what I've done now
I know where I am now
I know how far I'll go

waste my life
in your arms
waste away
by your side
saved I'm lost
devil may care

the only colors I could
ever tell apart
are in the curves and shadows of your skin

the only sound that I could
make any sense of
is your whisper in my ear

waste my life
in your arms
waste away
by your side
sell my soul
in your name
saved I'm lost
devil may care

pretty in a tired kind of way
you dress like you'd wish to remain
unseen by others
like your books
under covers

didn't think that I'd be drawn to
someone so ordinary
but like you
I didn't choose these dreams
my dreams chose me

Rose closes her eyes
disappears in between the lines
in words out of reason or rhyme
and I'm nothing she would ever want
'cause us creatures of flesh and blood
don't easily seem to agree
with what you are

so walk through the crowd
walk on now through the crowd
walk right past everyone
walk on through
stay unharmed
walk right past
remain untouched

you don't need my heart
you don't want my hand
you need a witness
you want to show what you've seen
an undiscovered land
a home out of time
out of place
home without faces or names
without lives

and she quietly passes me by
doesn't notice that I'm at her side
doesn't see it's not me
from whom she needs to hide
but I know I can never be
as real as her make believe
as true as what awaits
out in her dreams

Rose opens her eyes
spreads her wings open wide
runs head to head with the wind
to take flight
and when she's vanished up in the sky
we'll remember her sometimes
and I'll tell
how she once was one of us

      son
      you're old enough to know
      there's more to fear
      than what is shown

      I've seen
      a world outside these walls
      it will lift you high
      and let you fall

      and when the dark is creeping up
      I hope you'll turn and run right back

      and the sins you carry in your blood
      I'll share and cradle in my arms

      don't look
      your hand is in the shadow
      one step
      and you are sure to follow
      your heart
      would lie
      would weigh you down
      take mine
      'cause you can't make it without

      I taught you kindness
      taught you doubt
      and still you wanted to find out

      I nursed you close
      kept you in shelter
      yet you went looking for another
      but when your pulse begins to race
      remember that this is your place

      and those you've met
      the things you've seen
      don't matter here
      alone with me

      don't look
      you're standing in the shadow
      one step
      and I can't surely follow
      your heart
      would lie
      would weigh you down
      take mine
      'cause I can do without

    • OCEAN SKY

      http://www.sestina.fi/audio.html

      under the ocean sky
      you drown in sighs
      you remember
      sometimes

      under the ocean sky
      steps that cross the shoreline
      are taken by the tide

      and by dawn
      you'll be gone
      and close the door
      head on out
      and sink the oars
      drift on with the flow

      with the autumn tide
      you leave your home
      come morning light
      you leave the shore
      follow until you're lost

      under the ocean sky
      you miss but can't recall
      her eyes and how she smiled
      when she thought that no-one saw

      and how she used to lay
      awake before the dawn
      in a bedroom full of flowers
      with a window out to sea

      you gave out for the waves
      that dress she never wore
      quit hoping many times
      until one day you saw

      with shards of wood and quills
      it washed back on the shore
      white as it ever was
      her hair caught in its straps

      take me down
      take me below
      show me where
      the rivers are born
      take me down
      take me below
      show me where
      the buried go
