Thanks for watching!

I wanna ride the wave
of the perfect story
and see how far it goes,
wash up on that shore.

And when I arrive,
dead but still breathing,
will I see your eyes?
Will you be there?

I wanna write a song
you and I could live in.
It'd go on, on and on,
no ending,

and the whole world
would be in it
and all the things
that don't seem to fit.

It's stronger than the sea,
stronger than our bodies,
stronger than the air
you're breathing into me.

It's stronger than the song,
stronger than the story,
stronger than the need
to be free.

In the end, it conquers silence
and the stillness of the grave.

(c)(r) 2011 Veronique Van Pelt
