Where We Belong

Demo for a song in progress. The electric piano currently carries the melody, which will be replaced by live vocals as soon as my singer becomes available.

At the water’s edge I look into the night
You penned a poem among the stars that light the evening sky
Every verse and stanza speaking from your heart
Each point of light that dots the night a handmade work of art

Gentle wind blows in, fluttering the leaves
Whispers of affection riding on the breeze 
When I feel like I am lost like a needle in the hay
Thinking of you, thinking of me, moves me more than words can say

I wish I could tell you what you mean to me
But all my words just seem blasé
I want to throw my arms wide and shout it out
But even that feels so cliché

You tell me that you love me with the fragrance of a rose
I hear your voice in the sound of gentle rain
There must be something I can offer
A gift to lay before my king 
This song I sing is the gift I bring God I have to try
I wish I could talk like the one who made the sky
