Song for T

I send all my love with the ships passing in the night

T, I can see them from my window, shining bright

I hope they will get back to you

I can tell that you think this is moving too fast

We begin with the slightest things, I’ll leave it for your hands

To motion where I’m going

See the waves making shapes out in the sand

Like a pulse when they rise up on the land

I see it all

Can you see it from where you are standing

The wind’s picking up

To carry this all to you safely

T please forgive me for coming in strong and wrong

This spring is an airport but I want to call it home

We’re not gone ‘til we’re going

Two weeks from now you’ll be back from the trip that you’re on

We’ll get back to work and hope for what we’ve already got

‘Til you make a motion

See the gulls when they rest out on the sand

Like a sign they rise up from the land

I see it all

Can you see it from where you are standing

The wind’s picking up

To carry this all to you safely

See the waves making shapes out in the sand

Like a pulse when they rise up on the land

I see it all

Can you see it from where you are standing

The wind’s picking up

To carry this all to you safely
