Is there a tear in the eye of the storm
With room for love to linger
Slowly the hours crawl through the room
Hands without their fingers
I should have known to leave well enough alone
Than take a chance that I could win.
Without the cloud veiling the moon
Night can be just an illusion
Faded half day hiding the lie
Never would I lose you
I walk deep in the dream and chose not to see
The sleeping shadow of another.
Would I the reed
That bends turns its back on
the breath of the wind or be broken
Without the will and weft of the heart
I am a straw in the ocean
Falling through time for you to find
Me on the shoulder of some far shore
