Hatteras

I have loved, and I have lived
What seems like a lifetime
Worth of dreams
You are light, and you are wonder
And you have given all, it seems
A Hatteras night, a good luck charm
Deep in my pocket
For my keeps
And the moon, framed in scarlet
Sees me racing home from the east
And there are gifts, and there is virtue
And there is a solace in returning to thee
For I have worked, and I have travelled
And I am calloused, and I am beat
But just as the sun brings new day
I am closer and closer it seems
To all we have been, my fearless anchor
The love and the laughing
And the weight of new peace
The love and the laughing
And the weight of new peace
