Veering from the Wave


You and I, well we fell in deep
as a plumb line's true in the ocean of my sleep

True is love when your heart takes aim
In the silent depth nothing ever stays the same

So I left you here
And I feel so alone,
veering from the wave to the fury

When the storms roll in and they make me lose my place
Slow and black I watch them creep across your face

So you left me here
You will drink to the midnight,
veering from the wave to the fury

What I said to you then is what I say to you now -
Take it easy my friend, but take it somehow
There's something between us I won't let it go
Less than nothing, more than the universe can hold

(You said, understand, we are blacker than sun -

but golden in the shadows, even coming undone)

You and I, we were meant to be
Love and madness may run us out to sea

So we'll leave them here
beating East on a tangent
veering from the wave to the fury
