Tapestry
The Unraveling Tapestry
Standing in the snow on a winters dayThe storm blowing east was kind of enough to freeze my blood and split seams in my faceI thought back to when I started scribbling down the words I thought could make a soundThen laid back along the dunes lining the beachThe comforting breeze on a warm summer night, shooting stars above the seaI held shut my eyes and when I opened them the sun was shining on me and friends Saw beams of light connecting the sky to the soundSwaying in the waves was a dancer, graceful, forever unboundThe picture now etched into my jealous brain, oh I know I'll be you somedayAnd then I slipped into a dream, planting seeds in memory, linking time unconsciously until the weight of my brain's too much and sinks into my bodyWalking up the road in unknown terrainTo revisit a song and feeling I needed and could not let escapeAnd when it did and all the leaves turned brown I pictured us driving through townIt's funny when you think about how I almost slipped up and gave it away, it surely would have ended that timeAnd now all I ever think about is stretching my emotions outSo if I go and wait it out but don't succeed will I spend all my days searching for a needle in a card stack or be free?Well there were times when I'd surround myself with people who could pick it outAt the time a morning drive is on my mindI've never had better days, and I'll be in debt to you for the rest of mineHop on a bike, get lost, find our way out, there's always more to talk aboutIn a dim and silent scene we were stumbling through the streets and I'll wait so patiently to be crawling again and go blind as I leave it all behind me
