Across the Sea

On a kitchen desk, a note was left to say
One path to go is to find "away"
On the dock where the Wood was warped
A splinter stuck in the arch of his foot
Sun burnt hands callused and cut
The wind spoke in miles and didn’t let up
It’s only across the sea
A penny in the hand a gun on the floor
Some will pack their bags and head for some where more...
The light of the moon laid on a page is the only part of the sky he’d save
Wind swept cheeks ragged and red
The sun spoke in miles you can’t get ahead
It’s only across the sea
Farewell to you the captain spoke perhaps this’ll be your new home
It’s only across the sea

I can see your smile though it’s been some years
I can see your smile from way down here
I can see your smile through the blue in the clouds
Though you haven’t been around
I can hear your voice though its been so long
I can hear your voice singing this song
I can hear your voice through the blue in the clouds
And the echo is loud
You can hear these words through the evening sky
You can hear these words though I don’t know why
The car then crashed on the cobblestone roads
Why did you have to go?

Some kind of Dream

Sometimes when It rains
I sit for hours
Instead of water
There’d be tiny yellow flowers
And they would fill the streets
And they would fill the doors
like it was full before
I will stay
With the chestnut tree
No one can understand
What I’ll say anyways
And they would rake the roads
And they’d brush the animals
Who’d be sleeping outdoors
