Stowed
LET'S GET STOWED
Sunrise and sunset don't give hope of tomorrow
What if the climate plays a trick on human race
The clouds may gather and refuse to scatter
What if the sun sets and refuse to rise again
What of the wind shuts the door of life and it never opens again
Won't we all be caught unawares
Come here dear let us play a fast game
We can't afford to be trapped apart
We can't afford to lose in this imminent game
In case the world chooses to get drowned in its own tears
We will be safe together near the shores
Come, I've got a plan for us
Come with me let's take a stroll down the mountain sides
We will save our strength and walk through the low valleys
There is no sun for the hills provide the shades
Bring no food for I know where the fruits grow
Bother not about thirst, the spring awaits our visit
Let's move away from the deafening noise of humans and their sins
The birds will sing by day and the frogs will entertain us in the night
We need no light we will hold each other's hands
And when the clouds choose to cry, my father already told me about the caves
The stones will be soft behind my head
My shoulder will host your head all night long
We will shame the cold when we lay on each other
Your smile will lit my face beyond the dark
And when you kiss me softly, I'll remember how tender your heart is
So when the world is trapped in its sleep
When the sun stops to shine
And the night refuses to go
When the door is shut against the world
And tomorrow refuses to come
Then we will never be trapped apart
Wherever we open our eyes next
It shall be you and I at it again forever
