Grey Skies and Blue Waters (Laura's Dolphin Tattoo)

a question still sometimes appears
even after all these years

in the midst of a mundane situation
you shook it up in justified indignation

I felt my interest piqued
a resonant chord was plucked
a melody with promising characteristic

You proposed a hike
in the warm sun
Where I bathed in
your youthful spirit

You proposed a hike
up enchanting rock
where I basked in
your self assurance

my heart, my poor timorous heart
fluttered more
wish-wired and quiet

my heart, my poor timorous heart
fluttered more
the hint of a vast world

an expression on your face almost unnoticed
a sudden unobtrusive pensive streak

your Michigan grey skies .. brooding now
beneath your girlish charms
dark clouds have swelled and ... a deeper current flows

so many questions
I couldn't ask
so much desire
i couldn't express

you are an oasis in the desert
grey skies and blue waters

CHORUS
Your grey skies and blue waters
(I wan-ted to tell you)
Your grey skies and blue waters
(an idyllic afternoon)
Your grey skies and blue waters
(sun-bleached and spotless)
Your grey skies and blue waters
(I feel slow and sluggish)
---

Your past is a mystery to me
I too am running far away

Blurred under the desert sun
Trying to escape the shifting sands
Freezing when the words come too fast

We find ourselves by chance together
at this juncture in this transfer station
there is a glimmer of distant comfort
shimmering at the far end platform

Can we make it ourselves intact
through the noise, the maddening crowd
past the sounds and the fury now
past the bosch garden triptych

like a cradle in a rocking ocean
we find ourselves drowning now
drifting in these murky waters
I want you to tell me now

the dolphin tattoo
on your ivory ankle
the dophin tattoo
on your ivory ankle

in light blue
no closer to
the lighthouse in blue
no closer to
