trying to be cool

so watch me be the ocean
lapping right at her feet
watch me be waves with my love
waving 'til we meet again
by the river
as she kisses my lips
again in the harbor
with my hands on her hips as i
love her too dearly
that breeze is too strong
she comes to me nearly but
says, 'this is so wrong'
and
i am the ocean
bitter and chill
she is the sunlight
and she loves me still

and we are moment
when hope is all gone
what hope can there be
when we've finished our song?

then..
watch me, i tell her
watch me and pray
watch me, i sing
until some other day.

but don't love me dearest
don't dare try for my soul
i am the ocean watch my words roll
lap at the rocks, and lick at the sand
don't listen too closely
you won't understand

i'm broken and whole
and half-way too deep
i'm unspoken, unloving
eternal black sleep

so don't love me dearest
i tell her,
or your heart I will keep
so don't love me my only
.. or watch as i weep

the river will save me
the sky will dare sooth
we'll embrace at the harbor
then i'll just move

under the wind
under the stars
under the sunlight
i won't be too far

so watch me be the ocean
lapping at her feet
watch me be waves with my love
waving 'til we meet
