lyrics

Slow Tide

so I walk home
with some small adjustments to my mask
of security
and the rain that smells of pavement
threatens to make my life a cliché
and I never stumble as I do
when I’m plowing through life
short-term view
so my mask stays on

so I walk home
with bruises only I can see
and the toe I stubbed on romance well it laughs
and tells me, “It’s ok”
so I pause to put my toe on ice
and I ponder human sacrifice
and I walk on home

I’m walking home
savoring water of quiet storms
tides washing over wash bruises and memory
so I’m clean now and I stand
bring no bruises
bring no love demands

so now I rise
from a dream I fell into
unchaperoned
so gently I leave now
on a slow tide to morning
now I’m washed up on the shore
I walk on home then come back for more
I’ll be back for more
I’ll be back
