Letters

Lost, farewell
Under this sinking sun
In an ocean of sky
Dust and bones
Echoes of rusty guns
I'm not too young to die
Your love is a compass rose
Steadfast through this sand and stone
Wind, carry these letters home to Joan
Old memories come to life
A last dance in this amber light
Wind, carry these letters home tonight
Spinning wheels
Since i was just a boy
With a traveling mind
The bright moon steals
The heart of orion's joy
We trace a simple line
All our days
There was a song that played
For you in my head
All these things on my mind
Now that i'm taking the time
To write
See these letters swirl
Like a thousand white birds
In the sky up above her
I'm a flag unfurled
And I’m sending my heart
To a dear friend and lover
