©2010 Drowning
I've grown weary of these waves
treading water no longer keeps me afloat
let go , Im sinking low my lungs begin to cave
and Im wishing I hadnt jumped out of the boat
Above I see a Tempest roaring the surface
whirling me into a state of emergency
arms move up and down , doing my best
to reach the top , I cant stop , I have to breathe.
My love , he is waiting for me on the shore
I need him , he needs me we are of one heart
the memory of us is one of long lost lore
I must pace myself and swim I start.
I keep a picture of his smile in mind
it's the happiness that fuels my soul
with each mile I go his face so kind
helping me realize I dont have far to go.
