Very Long Road

http://www.myspace.com/bodhivalturner

When I first saw you
And for the length of 7 years
You were shaking at the starting line
Set to pounce upon your fears

Like a runner, like a boxer
Throwing punches in the air
I rode the wild currants
From the whipping of your hair

Do you remember Mexico
Our legs straight up the wall
Telling very tiny stories
With voices very tall

We laughed inside the stillness of
That Caribbean air
Drank the mango from the pancho
Let the ocean curl our hair

OH, its a very long road.
Oh, its a very long road.

Back in New York, we took a walk
To the corner liquor store
Caroline was out of rum
So we went out for more

Your cadence twice as fast as mine
Arms spinning like a mill
You were kicking up the weather
And I could feel the chill

Your smile as golden as the sun
Your blue eyes sparkling
You were wrestling with depression
From the outside in

Then you turned around, you went inside
To see what you could find
Cause racing all the time ahead
Will leave you far behind

Oh, its a very long road
Oh, its a very long road.

Oh bangled beauty
with your tie died on
Its so good to see you dancing now
Again under the sun

Im still dizzy with your spinning
And I long for Mexico
But Im happy to be warm inside
your radiant glow.

Cause heres your Buddha belly
With a baby inside.
I can see your heart expanding
where it once thought it should hide

And oh just think
you were afraid to be a girl.
And oh just look
youre bringing more love to our world.

Beautiful song Val, your writing keeps getting better, I love the line "I rode the wild currents from the whipping of your hair". I liked it when you sang it on Monday, but it's even better when I can read the lyrics.
