Sails

This love that we both cradle
Is fast, but calm to us
The hours, they seem unstable
A feeling we’ve come to trust

When day turns to lifetime
We ask, should we say no?
Sweetheart, it’s not a landmine
Step back and let it go.

I don’t have time to remember
What the coal and the embers
Felt like without you

When the albatross is heavy
And the surge is at the levy
I will put in the work

Darling, take the helm with me
Take this ship out to the sea
And raise the sails.
