Im Shipwrecked Forever On Your Shore

My love is a ship with no map that is spiritually lost at sea

Never finding the heart homeland of you that used to always be

Emotion waves crash over my once strong and loving bow

I will find that port of passion this is my seamen’s vow

I set my soul sail up to find that subtle soft kiss wind

But I still am a drift in an ocean of tears because we did rescind

I check my compass of fate to see where my future lies

But it doesn’t point North to your heart there will be no compromise

All at once I see a sign of life underneath the guiding moonlight

It’s your vessel searching for mine now were two ships passing in the night

We have caught each other in a net and have never had so much love before

I never want to set sail from you again I’m shipwrecked forever on your shore
