Thee and Me In the Emerald Sea

Two days turn to a thousand thousand
The lonliness makes me literally shiver,
The hours, they number the grains of sand
On the bank of the weeks long river.

That lonliness is cold, so cold;
It freezes me to my core.
But once it's done - this weeks load-
I shall be warm once more.

And whilst warm I swim in that river
And dance along the shore,
Under moonlight shinging silver;
Burning fires in my core.

So soothing is the winds sweet whisper
As leaves play their tune in the trees;
And I lay floating in that river,
Towards the Emerald Sea.

I drift to a lonesome island
And sit with the Red-Rose Tree.
In peace we wait 'til that boat comes,
And makes me again wait for thee.
