winter words

i spoke the winter words
my heart in autumn leaves
but i dreamed the summer dreams
that’s the way it always seems to be
i see the ships go by
i feel the tug in my own sails
but my anchor wont give way
its like it never fails
i think the deepest thoughts of anyone you’d meet
but where i’m standing the water barely clears my feet
so i relinquish all my charts and plans
to the wonder of your guiding hands

and i will find my way in you
i will find my way in you
for free i will be to join the stars in their midnight dance
free i was meant to be guided by your hands

i think it over now
all my many twists and turns
and where it’s gotten me
and all the things that i have learned
i think i see it now
like i’ve never seen before
too many choices
and all too long this corridor
so i rejoin the race but with a very different notion
i hold my running, and set my face to feel the motion
of your breath, of your direction
