Still Waters

Raine

 

I stand alone

On this cold winter’s shore

Grey racing clouds

Paying me no mind

I drift along the rocks

With the crashing surf

Jeweled ice spray

Misting over me

 

For long I have seen

Where this love leads

Waves dashing

Storm at sea

But now I’ve reached Still Waters

And here is where I’ll stay

I’ve had enough of storms

Now I want to float

Float on is Still Waters

 

Bitter grey sun

Over a monochrome beach

Thunderheads gathering

Not so far away

I hear that nearby rumble

And know that once

Not so long ago

That rumble was me

 

Footsteps on slate

Scattered pieces of driftwood

I slowly turn my back

And begin to walk away

The call of your sea is strong

Stronger than I could have known

But a drowning man

Must try to save himself

 

For long I have seen

Where this love leads

Waves dashing

Storm at sea

But now I’ve reached Still Waters

And here is where I’ll stay

I’ve had enough of storms

Now I want to float

Float on is Still Waters

 

Your savage weather

Enchanted me

But I can’t take anymore of these

Stormfront warnings

I’m too tired

And if I slip

I know I’ll slide under

And be lost

To your raging tides

Take me to the still water

I can’t fight anymore

 

For long I have seen

Where this love leads

Waves dashing

Storm at sea

But now I’ve reached Still Waters

And here is where I’ll stay

I’ve had enough of storms

Now I want to float

Float on is Still Waters

 

Lead me to your Still Waters
