Two Rowboats

(album: Japanese Blossoms - 2016)

We're two rowboats drifting in circles
Dancing on the quiet lake
Those striders sail around us
Humming while they waterskate

The sun is sinking and your hair is gold
Shimmers as the minnows waltz below
Our two rowboats make their circles
Trying not to separate

Hold fast, hold strong
Steady as the tide we roll on
We change, we move
But I'm forever tethered to you

Dark clouds mark their arrival
As the storm is moving in
The trees they're bending, bowing
In submission to the wind

We're tossed about by angry shoves
And we must fight to keep this love
Move quickly, grab your paddle
We are warriors til the end

Hold fast, hold strong
Steady as the tide we roll on
We change, we move
But I'm forever tethered to you

I'll never let you go [x4]
