A Heart Adrift
On a lonely sea under a frozen moon
Wondering if I'm ever going to see home soon
To reach out and touch what's real
So my heart can feel
What its been missing for so many days
All my bags were packed and I was ready to go
But now my hopes have been crushed by the ice and snow
And my dreams just fade , and the plans I've made
With the ebbing tide are all washed away
Another morning breaks but the sun refused to shine
Casting a darker shadow on this lonely heart of mine
As I sink back in this chair, and wallow in my own despair.
I write my reckless thoughts out on this barren page
Though this life I've chosen has served me well
On my heart and my loves it has created hell
And I count the cost, and the loves I've lost
It just wasn't worth all the heartache and pain
I'm older now and so many lessons I've learned
And though I think I'm wiser I still seem to get burned
But ill still search for love, and pray that God above
Can bless a heart with so many wounds
Another day passes and and our passage has cleared
I can see the snow covered shoreline now drawing near
My heart and lifts inside and there's a tear in my eye
For the love ill be seeing soon.
