I\'ll come back
Slowly
A rose unfurling
To welcome the early sun
Ocean tide brushing along the rocks
As it comes back and forth
I\'ll come back
As long as your waiting on the other side
As long as you\'ll turn your light
Towards my delicate petals
Out where the wind screams at the sails
And a lone boat fights the choppy seas,
Keep your light steady on the shore,
Right where the moss holds the dew,
And the brown rings widen inside the oak.
There is no rush in the way the vines
Creep up the weathered bark
I\'ll come back
As long as you keep your door unlocked
Footsteps soft on a gravel path
Waiting for the quiet click
Of the latch falling into place
