Hymn

Somewhere high up in the air there

I had long forgotten I belong to you

Some unconscious stream of twisted logic

Caught me in its whirlwind

Left me black and blue

I was senseless

Battered and defenseless

Rain became relentless

Leaving barren skies

I was broken

All I left unspoken

Left me torn wide open barely still alive

Found your letter sealed away in storage

Under my pretenses buried out of view

I recalled it hidden in a notebook

Tattered ruffled

Pages old but good as new

I was listless

How could I have missed this

If you are the groundswell

I'm tossed in your tide

I was certain if I'd seen it comin'

I'd have started running back

At the starting line

Well I faltered left you at the altar

Offering my apologies and my gratitude

Now there's a sinking feeling in my chest

You're gonna love me

Less when I return to you

But you were never one to keep a record

One to hold against me

All I failed to prove

I've been tethered floating like a feather

Anxious in my roaming

Stranded on the move
