HARBORS APART

SITTING ALL ALONE AGAIN
I CLOSED MY EYES AND SAID A SILENT PRAYER
THOUGHT MY PRAYER WAS ANSWERED
WHEN I LOOKED UP AND SAW YOU STANDING THERE
?I JUST HAD TO MEET YOU
BECAUSE YOUR AURA IS THE BRIGHTEST I HAVE SEEN?
INTRIGUED, I OFFERED YOU A CHAIR
SAID ?TELL ME WHAT YOU MEAN?

I BELIEVED I HAD SEEN THE LAST OF LONELY DAYS
PROVIDENCE HAD SMILED AND BLESSED MY LIFE
WITH YOUR WARM AND NATURAL WAYS
I CAN SEE FAITH IN PROVIDENCE HAD MADE ME BLIND
I LOOKED AWAY AS SHADOWS OF THE PAST CREPT UP BEHIND

| SAIL THE SEA
| NEVER FIND A PORT THAT?S EVER
| HOME TO ME
| SEEK AND NEVER FIND
| ANOTHER SOUL TO BE
| A HARBOR SAFE ENOUGH TO KEEP MY HEART

| LOVE WILL GROW
| USE ME AS AN ANCHOR
| BUT THE WINDS WILL BLOW
| TEAR THE SAILS ASUNDER
| AND ADRIFT WE FLOW
| CURRENTS BOUND FOR HARBORS FAR APART

RELATIONSHIPS REVEAL THEMSELVES
IN MOMENTS WHEN THE CONVERSATION DIES
COMFORT WITH THE SILENCE
MADE IT EASY TO THINK SILENCE NEVER LIES
YOU WANTED ME TO HELP YOU
FIND A WAY TO TOUCH THE GROUND
BUT YOU?D RATHER FLY
AND DIDN?T WANT ME THERE TO BRING YOU DOWN
