adrift in our bed when the dream begins,
windows left open and the ocean spilling in,
with star fish above her,
a pearl in a shell to discover-
I'm swept up in her wake, wave after wave-

surface grows distant as the fish swim into view, 
slow motion gems in her eyes, flashing green and blue,
the clown fish will love her,
storms brew above her,
she pulls me under, wave after wave-

the tide is subsiding, her motion is inviting,
washing over me, wave after wave-

the surface is falling, orca still calling,
wake her slowly, wave after wave-

Wave After Wave

http://maccharles.bandcamp.com/track/fly-on

kick up the wind,
now we begin,
and we are lifting,
we catch a thermal and rise-

now and then,
we tuck it in,
the joy of falling,
we level off and we climb-

fly on,
over oceans, on and on,
fly on,
over oceans, winter close behind,
fly on-

we hit the rain,
I called your name,
but you were drifting,
somewhere far behind-

steady on,
now you're gone,
we get the feeling,
we could go at any time-

fly on,
over oceans, on and on,
fly on,
over oceans, winter close behind,
fly on-


Fly On

another day fades,
a hidden horizon line,
a river of tail lights,
fade in the fog-

another red light,
calling my mind away,
adrift on the endless rain,
lost in a song-

I dream of leaving this town,
I can't see the stars anymore,
the neon lie breaks me down,
I can't see the stars anymore-
now that you're not around,
I can't see the stars anymore,

I look for a way,
in moments of weightlessness,
to conjure your voice again,
your face from the crowd-

watching the blades,
wiping the rain away,
imagine my memories,
in every drop-

I dream of leaving this town,
I can't see the stars anymore,
the neon lie breaks me down,
I can't see the stars anymore-
now that you're not around,
I can't see the stars anymore,
