Love On The Line

I sent my love sailing

To see what I could find

Inhaling and exhaling

What the world defines

Bought into the madness

A supermarket brand name

Drew it onto my canvas

But it was all just a game

So I took a gamble

Tied it onto a string

Armed with the example

My folks gave to me

Laid it all on the line

With nothing left to imagine

Gave everything that was mine

To see what would happen

I stood during the drought

I stood in pouring rain

I endured the doubt

I absorbed every pain

Till one day on this line

I felt a tug on my heart

I thought to love I was blind

Emotions loaded and cocked

And then, to my surprise

You blew in on the breeze

You reopened my eyes

Gave my love back to me

The image of me

Appeared in the shadows

With this guarantee

That as far as love goes

I am all that I need

And what I feel and need matters

So I untied the string

And watched as it scattered

Across the blue sky

As free as the breeze

Covering the divide

And returning to me
