THE WIND & THE DUNES

I lay my love around you

Growing yellow rings of flowers 

I wasn't made for this time

I was born for something after

This place contains the end and the start

This place is the beat of my heart

There's a part of you that has no wounds

And it exists inside me, too

At night, it shines a brilliant blue

The wild wind sweeps the white sand dunes 

Our breath was in the pulsing waves

As daylight's colors dropped away

We watched the lights of the fishing boats

Light up the horizon 

The roots of the oak tree expand as she breaths

Pushing the cold earth down beneath

Turning the surface of the rough, red clay

Moving the stones with her smooth, gentle strength

To reach toward the glowing sun

To stand tall when the winter comes 

Her roots, they keep her anchored

This land is the beat of her heart

I lay my love around you

Growing yellow rings of flowers 

New leaves grow in vibrant greens

New flocks of songbirds chatter

This place contains the end and the start

This place is the beat of my heart

There's a part of me that always stays

With you on the dunes that day

At night, two lights shine brilliantly blue 

The wind sweeps through the white sand dunes
