Deep Blue Quiet Places

If he is the Sun and she is the sea in which he bathes From every dawn to every dusk of every day If she is the boat and he is the breath that fills the gale The crest and fall of trust and thrall the billowing sail If he is the sextant she is the stars by which he guides From slumbering sea to port at every eventide If she is the gull and he is the sanguine song she cries A wistful wordless question posed to sea and sky If he is the halcyon calm she's a summer storm That drowns him in her furious skin hungry wild and warm Ripples in the deep blue quiet places of our hearts Tumbling in the deep blue quiet places of our hearts Every ocean hazards depths that we could never hope to chart It is here that we have anchored every secret of our hearts If he is the stream and she is the tale his babbling tells The dream of every desert every empty well If she is the cliffs and he is the waves that shatter here Steal away the stone in hopes of creeping nearer True unity is impossible we understand But this doesn't stop the sea and shore from mingling in the sand The wander of the current the winding of the eel Whale song to siren's call to sunken soul to sailor's reel To the whisper of the tide They speak of mysteries so far below the ebb and flow So deep within the human heart where only love can go The reefs and wrecks where all our treasures hide Ripples in the deep blue quiet places of our hearts Tumbling in the deep blue quiet places of our hearts Every ocean hazards depths that we could never hope to chart It is here that we have anchored every secret of our hearts Banishing breath they enter the waves For only the drowned can be saved The weight of their trust shall carry them swift So deep below the ebb and flow in their hearts' dark drift Yo ho Yah oh hooooo ooohooohoooo yah hoo oooooooo
