lists and You

some lists i have left incomplete as if time would fill them
never ready never willing to commit to paper my admission
i tip toe around the obvious unaware of my exposure
unknowing that i had the answer i was searching for
the first time i found myself i didn't know that i was lost
the second time i had given up the search some years before
and so what? this is me and who i am i wouldn't trade
i reach for the sky and i leave this earth in my own mind
to ride, to dream, to love, to give, this is my own way
surrounding paths have crossed and changed my inner state
geography is irrelevant when love fuels your fire
gates and locks mean nothing now destination You
my lists are filled favored wicks but my home is far away
anticipation of the clock is an all consuming thought
meaningless tasks are intended to pass away the day
faking interest in anything else is a full time position
yellow socks and mailman chasing concrete is my prison
that little guy comes down the tracks to make sure its all working
i have no questions doubts or fears execpt for maybe one
how many more business days until I can wrap myself in You

1557 km

fifteen hundred fifty seven kilometers where I belong with her
thirty two years not one two many as we paint the wind and stir
the ocean told her that I was on my way and her heart felt the same
leaving no promises unkept no guilt no time no sensless shame
this heart, its a fragile vessel made for smooth sailing smiling faces
compassion is our compass guide us to our favorite places
she gives so much more than she will ever need or ask for
she places value on the transcendence of the human core
she would give you the heart from her chest if you were me
i laugh with her about the difference between a B and a bee
she smiles like a child so damn happy and so damn free
patronizing obstacles as if we even had the time to breathe
i believe in her so much with conviction pure like salt
two hundred thousand years from now I still wont find a fault
in awe of her being her face and her place she gives it all away
i dream of no more airplanes to come and take this day
and here i am in gratitude undeserving in my own place
i knew i loved her long before I ever saw her face
but she loves me loves me loves me so i take the whole world in
naturally quietly I fall into peace and sink into her skin
in the presence of a twenty thousand and one collective mind
she is all i can see to the rest of the world i am blind
never before have i known my days to live this passionately
she's the B to my U and the U to my me
