Here with my hand on my heart
swearing up and down
'Oh, no, I will never leave.'
Winds come to court and they woo
me out of my vow.
There I go and you wait for me.
Oh, me and my patterns.
Oh, say it doesn't matter.
Deep in the heart of the sea is a voice I know
an the same one in the hands of hell.
Out in the reaches of space and the space inside
comes a feeling and I know it well.
It seems as though I cannot escape you.
But Oh, why would I want to.
For without you I am blind,
oblivious to love and its demonstration.
Unaware upon a wire
is a bird upon the lines of communication.
Here in the center of your heart
in the talons of your word
in the saftety of your wings I am
miles over land and over sea
over you and over me
Love has taken everything I am.
Here in the morning I will sing
with the people that I love
and the hearts that you have made your own.
Rush through the rustle of my leaves.
I am rooted. I'm a tree.
I am planted. I am river grown.
So won't you speak to me?
