After The Storm

(Album: Swimmin' Time - 2014)

I said I thought it would be colder
You put your head upon my shoulder
Ain't it funny how time just seems to run

What the hell have you been doing
Not too sure guess just mostly moving
I've been spinning for so long and now I guess I'm spun

Like the widest river, like the brightest morn
There hope where you can't see it, there's a light after the storm
But won't you help me to get thru it, I've been flailing like a child
My mistakes they are so many, for my loving heart is wild

Not quite old
Far from young
Body bold with a youthful tongue

Like a kiss held out of context
I can't separate my mind
We can set this boat on fire, we can leave it all behind

Like the widest river, like the brightest morn
There's hope just up ahead, there's a shelter safe and warm
But won't you help me to get to it, I've been selfish I have lied
My mistakes they are so many, for my ruthless heart is wild

Like the winds that sheer the plains and cut you down to size
None but the dust and seeds remain, they root themselves and rise

Like the widest river, like the brightest morn
There is hope where you can't see it, there's a light after the storm
Won't you help me to get through it, I've been flailing like a child
My mistakes they are so many, for my weary heart is wild
