Forest City Lovers Sudden Seas
look out at the water
the sullen seas are sound
put the mast up out of anger
and wished for wind to come
but a sail won't bring us forward
if the air is still tonight
so we'll drift around in silence till the morning brings her light
thought i'd escape to california
and sing someone else's songs
took account of my shortcomings
left them all in oregon
but shortcomings have a heartbeat
and a pulse not be ignored
spread my feelings out like fire
left them burning on the floor
but i can't bring us forward
if the air is still tonight
so we'll drift along in silence
till the morning shows her light
and then perhaps a breeze will come
and move our tired limbs
for i'm so sick of walking
i've almost given in
i'll sleep on it.
