Starless Mornings (Track 6, 21st Century Writings)

Starless mornings pass by again,
And I am free to feel again.
Windswept seas caress my face,
And I have been in this place
Some time before.

Over yonder the dawn is breakin',
And I feel you next to me.
Barefoot boys their dreams and scheming,
And I hear you next to me
And I know that I have loved you.

BRIDGE:
And all my vague lied promises in my sleep,
Are out of the closet and creepin' into the streets.

Now I hear the voices calling,
Beckoning me to where I've been.
Voyages across the stormy sea,
Somehow keep calling to me
But here I lie in your arms.

Something I left along my way,
Haunts me in the early morn.
But then I look at what I see,
And it keeps reminding me
That I have loved you.

BRIDGE:
And something that I locked away in my night,
Has taken wings, and now is in flight.

Sails unfurl and morning's spawn
Hurls in the motion of an unfelt dawn.
Gales and reefs are at every shore.
I know that I've been here before
For I have loved you.

Gathering the sails of man's own hell,
Driven by what I have known so well.
Something out there keeps eluding me.
Something that seems far at sea
But I have loved you.

BRIDGE:
Vain whispers sent out on an open sea,
Somehow are calling and following me.

Darkness shrouds my ship at sea,
And your image returns to me.
Sailing into a sheltering port,
I have been in this place before,
For I have loved you.

I look at my life on this open sea,
Night's images caressing me.
And I see you next to me,
Opening my heart to the mystery
For I have loved you.
