Accomplice

You look to the stars
With your great wistful eyes
Dreaming the beauty away
Wish I was a bird
That  could spread it's wings far
Just so I could count them for you

Your beautiful mind
An abyss yet divine
Can't seem to fathom
Introverted design

And I'm forever in your shadow
I'm the roots that steady the tree

A blissful retreat
Concealed in your smile
A rare and coveted decree
Come sleep for a while
So that we can pretend
That you can solve my puzzle too

Oh that I could see what you want me to see
If you could share your gift  with me

And I'm forever in your shadow
I'm the roots that steady the tree
