32.Mountains To The Sea
Well, I spent two days in travelling the mountains to the sea
I knew the change would do me good and set my spirit free
I spent two nights in wondering what it is you've done to me
Before an answer came I reached the sea
Here I spend my days in wandering the reaches and the reefs
And my soul becomes so quiet I can hear my own beliefs
I sail out on the ocean 'til I cannot see the land
And I wonder if you'll ever understand
Why a soul with so much heaven held should ever feel so damned
And why it's always so uncomfortable to hold another's hand
Why of late I feel myself a ship out to sea--unmanned
I wonder if you'll ever understand
There are seagulls in the morning here, I watch them search and
soar
As they dive to take the fishes that swim just beyond the shore
Then they fly off in the distance 'til they finally fade from
view
Somehow, they remind me so of you
There's so many things you need to learn that I can never teach
And places in your troubled soul that I may never reach
So I wander like an ebbing tide along this lonely beach
And cast my dreams like stones into the sea
