The Trig 02:09
Watching the day slip slowly by The summer breeze releasing me I hear my mermaid lover sigh As she drifts along the sea I know that she ain't gone for good For she'll be moving with the tides To a house upon a hill Of that good ol' countryside There's fairies stopping for a drink There's some sweet whisper in the air Give me a moment then I'll sink And you won't find me anywhere For I'm a drifting in the wind For come tomorrow I'll be gone To leave this house fit for a king And leave this shadow of a song

I was in the basement waiting The candles on the bench were fading The curtains let a beam of sunlight in And all along I knew the answer I knew that it would have to be her She would be the one to draw me in Seems these days I'm taking a turn for the worst And I'm taking it slow Washed up at sea but I'm dying of thirst And only one way to go Clouds they roll above my window They seem to give me comfort I know And all along I know just where I stand But she's the one that brings the light in She brings it out from where it's hidden In a way I don't quite understand Seems these days I'm taking a turn for the worst And I'm taking it slow Washed up at sea but I'm dying of thirst And only one way to go There is a truth and promise to hold onto That cannot be seen I'll be right here I'll be waiting for you Where I've always been

Like the stars I will fall But I'll be back come the break of dawn It's not my place I hear you call My mind is numb and my heart is torn Remember me as before It's not so long since I walked this floor I fed the birds they wanted more I wish I read the signs above the door A rainbow faded into view I saw it's beauty and it was you You said it's mine you said you knew And you promised that it was true A swallow flew welcomed the day He could not tell but he knew the way What a thought nothing to say But take a moment give it away

It sure does feel not so long ago when everything was fine We'd go for a drive up that winding road to spend a Sunday time It felt like we had set the sails to a land afar To a land afar Though I know there won't be anymore vanilla afternoons I wish you could see but six white horses took you home too soon Around the bend of that old dirt road there stands a home of old We'd lose ourselves and lose our time, listen to stories told Our minds were light and burden free like the leaves in spring Like the leaves in spring Though I know there won't be anymore cola afternoons I wish you could see but six white horses took you home too soon I'd never seen him like that day it broke my heart in two A speech of a lifetime and of heart, of a love so true I'll remember well the day he knew like it was today Like it was today She had a voice of lady fair sure of what she said She'd collect the things that they called old, she called them home instead A wife, mother, and grandmother, she was more than this it's known She was more than this it's known So although she did depart and leave us with a hole I know we are bound to cross paths at the curtain call A toast to you and all your years We'll see you sometime soon
