Once upon a time
two ships adrift
alone on the sea
the wind has grown restless
the water is deep
a man overboard
they’ll be no search party
the sky grows an angry face
trying to hold her on course
she drifted off into space
the waves rising up around me
have I fallen victim
to being in a hurry
I’m sorry
I hurt you
why must love be, so cut and dry
I’m sorry I’ll listen more than I speak
if you’ll explain why
& these tears they fill the boat
sink to the bottom
or stay afloat
you’re such a fragile thing
stand in the spot light
while I watch in the wing
I’m sorry
I hurt you
why love must be suddenly
so cut and dry
I don’t know why but
I’m sorry I’ll whisper more than I weep
as the storm passes by
storm pass us by
this storm will pass by
Why
Tell me
Why
Tell me
Why

If you take your side and I take mine
we waste so much of our precious time
come back be open
lay our hearts on the table
shed all of our anguish / anger (choose one)
until we are able to breath
a sigh of relief
a sigh of relief
We’re much to clever to give in or surrender
even if we have nothing to gain
by looting each other
we come to discover
we’re all out of little toy men
and nothing has changed
I want to be changed
I want to be changed
The truth never spoken
lay shattered there by the door
and now we’re all deaf with ears that
cannot endure
cannot endure
cannot endure
cannot endure
this uncomfortable silence
where love wins
love wins
love wins
You swallow yours and I swallow mine
both of us growing
cross over the line
we drew in the sand
before we buried our heads
let us bury our dead
better things in store
just up ahead
just up ahead
where the sky and the sea become one
bird and fish remain too
the world that we share
becomes something completely new
the words between us
connected like dots on a page
there is nothing worth fighting for
no good in the wars that we wage
in the wars that we wage
love wins
love wins
love wins
love wins
love wins
love wins
love wins
love wins

I come from the stars and the moon
forfeit the womb and enter the room
you come from the depths of the sea
now you’re just out of reach and always will be
always will be
just out of reach
always will be
I’m one on a long list of names
hoping to tame, open to gain
A glimpse so serene
But my eyes cannot see and I struggle to breath
Did you know that you struggle to breath
At the base of Everest
On the face of Everest
We come from all over the world
Chasing a dream trying to break free
You stand between us and the sky
Questioning why do we even try
Do you want to die
On Everest
On Everest
There are those who ignore their eyes
ascend descend and walk right by
The flicker of a candles light
Trapped inside a tent all night
A wind that blows right through your clothes
The static on your radio
Worried lover that stayed at home
& the children you have left alone
Been left alone
You have been left alone
So lonely
So lovely
So lonely
So lovely
So lonely
So lovely
So lonely
SOLO
I hear you calling to me
Come to the peak
Come concur me
I dare you to risk everything
And you risk everything to watch the sun set on Everest
Join the ghosts on Everest
Become a ghost on Everest
Join the ghosts on Everest
Become a ghost on Everest
Join the ghosts on Everest
Become a ghost on Everest
Join the ghosts on Everest
Become a ghost on Everest
