The Earth The Sky and Us

Come on.  Come out.  Come here.  Come nearer.
The needs of the night and the wants of the ocean
They push.  They pull.  They build.
The fire that is spiraling inside

I’ll close my eyes and count to five
I’ll craft the only thing I know from ache into surprise
I’m shaking, you say those things
You’re smile, I say these things
I’ll lose pieces to the wind
As you take them, hold them, pull them off

Come on.  Come out.  Come here.  Come nearer.
The needs of the night and the wants of the ocean
They push.  They pull.  They build.
The fire that is spiraling inside

I’ll close my hands and listen for your voice
I’ll take the words and keep them, as if you had a choice
It’s louder, I can hardly speak now
You say we need to find the way
No need to be afraid
Even if it’s just for a few moments, then we’ll know

Come on.  Come out.  Come here.  Come nearer.
The needs of the night and the wants of the ocean
They push.  They pull.  They build.
The fire that is spiraling inside

I’ll close my open mouth and hold back some mystery
I’ll keep quiet about some things in my rain washed history
Some things do not need to be
Out on the floor to trip over
Instead I’ll look for signs of life
And maybe even lose my mind

Somewhere out there where it’s just sky, earth and us
The sky, earth and us.
Come on.  Come out.  Come here.  Come nearer.
The sky, earth and us.
And the fire that is spiraling inside
