The Sailor and the Mermaid

I sailed away for a thousand years
Searching for reasons to know
So many times I've let my fears
Distract my soul from where I have to go

Oceans have rocked this little boat
Often too hard but still it goes
After a storm I only know
How far a distance I must go

I've heard the sound of distant ships in my life
All clouds around

I hear them call my name at night time
Familiar choir echoes afar
Draws me far away from shorelines
To a place I long to know

Caressing wind brush back my hair
Distant shapes keep me awake
Scents of flowers in the air
Evoke lost memories of a lake

In waves she dances
Playing passing close by
The green of her eyes

Reminds me of a distant lifetime
I know I've seen this face before
Her voice invites what's left of my life
To the land of evermore

No more frontiers will ever stand between us
Let go my fear
And let my soul fall in the ocean
As every dolphin rules the sea
Hand in hand we'll sail forever
To where we were meant to be

In the morning they came aboard
They only found this little note
Please tell them all I love them so
But I really had to go...
