Hymn

Somewhere high up in the air there I had long forgotten I belong to you Some unconscious stream of twisted logic Caught me in its whirlwind, left me black and blue I was senseless, battered and defenseless Rain became relentless, leaving barren skies I was broken, all I left unspoken Left me torn wide open, barely still alive Found your letter sealed away in storage Under my pretenses, buried out of view I recalled it hidden in a notebook Tattered, ruffled pages old but good as new I was listless, how could I have missed this? If you are the groundswell, I'm tossed in your tide I was certain if I'd seen it comin' I'd have started running back at the starting line Well I faltered, left you at the altar Offering my apologies and my gratitude Now there's a sinking feeling in my chest You're gonna love me less when I return to you But you were never one to keep a record One to hold against me all I failed to prove I've been tethered, floating like a feather Anxious in my roaming, stranded on the move
