lyrics

I'm dodging all the rocks and docks and wading out the bay
The steely darkened water left no vestige of my way
Before I head round the bend Ill be grabbing both my oars
Cuz if the wind doesn't blow then the sail doesn't fill
but I can still paddle hard
Be calm, my storm...
You never did stagnate, still, when you need to find
a way, a peace, you’ll find it clear as the truth in your mind
I’ve come to the conclusion I can’t forget and move on
But if I havent got a map cuz I burned on my past
Does that excuse me from fate?
Be calm, my storm...
Words have power, too, and they shouldn’t be abused
I never had the gentle touch I commit when I feel truth
Please pear down all my thoughts and all my lengthy run-ons, too
Cuz if we live in absolutes then the only living truth that
There are always several hundred ways
Be calm, my storm...
I still miss you when I’m asleep at night
Between two families of Ponderosa Pine
With nothing but the truth that you’re a mystery
I’ll still wonder over you and how it is that you sleep
When I go, there will be no turning back
When I go, drive west of North Platte
When I go, will they manifest
All those hidden thoughts that your heart locked from your head
When I go, there will be no tears left
When I go, drive east of North Platte
When I go, oh please don’t you fret
Cuz before long, you know....I’ll be back
