If Not the Sun

If not the sun, then seize the moon

if not the sea, it's over soon

I'm gonna weep this willow song

And find a place to call my own

Then the night was above

And your heart was below

Still the rhythm seemed right

And your spirit was bold

so you aimed for the sky

With the arrow on bow

Raised your hands up in the air

and your reached for the highs

like a minor for gold

and you searched your soul for

something enigmatic

Inside your right

resides a wrong

I'm in the fields that lies beyond

I will not waste more precious time

Go find me somewhere down the line

Then the night was above

And your heart was below

Still the rhythm seemed right

And your spirit was bold

so you aimed for the sky

With the arrow on bow

Raised your hands up in the air

and your reached for the highs

like a minor for gold

and you searched your soul for

something enigmatic

I won't get down from your answer

I won't take no for an answer

I persevere like a dancer

a tight-rope walk on chance now

a glimpse of hope in the riddle

I slip through the eye of the needle

I still have love to rekindle

not all is revealed for a nickel
