For Lisa

In a sentiment I started a long time ago
I tried to tell you just how much I need you
you were my garden, I said 
and my fountain of youth
you were proof that God made sunny days
and sandy beaches for lovers
I also tried to say I'd be honest as I could be
and still be me
so you see, when I spend time by myself
get a little lost in myself 
and try to commune with nature
sometimes I get lost
but I always find my way home
home to the garden
the fire that warms me
home to the love that feeds me
back to the place I most want to be 
back together, always together
you and me
