Sailing on to You

Last night I dreamed I slept in the crook of your arms
but when I awoke I was just a rocking boat
on the ocean at dawn

I am sailing carefully through a sea of blinking eyes
with compass, maps, and charts
to plot when yours will look on mine
The northwind tastes like freedom
and the south the salty skin of a man
and I'm praying for a sight of land

There are days when the mere want of your face
hits me like stormy gales
Oh, could the darkness know just how lovely she'd glow
if the moon it prevailed

Still, I keep my sails at mast
though sometimes I don't know what for
I fear the wind won't come to carry me to your blessed shore
But each red sinking sunset looks like hope swallowing despair
so I'm following it there

Here I can see all the beautiful colors
as they hang on the clouds and welcome the stars
I know one day we will watch them together
but for now I pray for you that it's just as beautiful
there where you are

The sea brings joy and longing
the wind, sorrow and peace
the sky brings retribution
and a branch from an olive tree

So I will keep my eyes on the horizon
and my face to the wide open blue
as I'm sailing on to you
