12. The Wind in Our Sails

For My Friends and Family
by Trailand Eltzroth

       
Lyrics:

On the edge of the new, leaving all that you own
You take the plunge, venturing alone
With the keys at your fingers, a pen in your hand
It’s all that it takes, to see through your plan
In these stories you’ve told, do they all have a home
These young men now old, when they return
You say it’s too late to fold, your hand has been played
Your mind has been sold, she’s calling your name

It’s the mystery in your eyes, mixed with the midnight skies
In the music she sings, in your heart how it rings
It’s the wind in your sails, that keeps blowing you on
Following your heart, to where you say that you belong

The years have gone by, and that woman you knew
She cast you aside, left you battered and blue
Your vision got blurry, as tears filled your eyes
Asking God why He left you, so He sends His reply
In the shape of a dancer, oh the beauty she brings
Just one movement, your heart starts to sing
You tell her your story, you show her your scars
You play her your songs, ‘bout reaching for the stars

It’s the mystery in her eyes, mixed with the midnight skies
In the music you sing, in her heart how it rings
You’re the wind in her sails, that keeps blowing her on
Following her heart, to where she says that you belong

Now it wasn’t all easy, but you both have stayed true
The seasons have passed you by, the kids came and grew
You’ve told them your story, shared all that you know
You cling to each other, and both watch them go
It reminds you of something, of a time that’s long past
Of a young man now old, who’s found home at last
With the strings at our fingers, we’ve picked up your pen
Kept on your writing, and learned for your sin

It’s the mystery in our eyes, mixed with the midnight skies
In the music we sing and in your heart how it rings
We’re the wind in your sails, that keeps blowing you on
Following your heart, to where we all belong

It’s the mystery in your eyes, mixed with the midnight skies
In the music you sing and in our hearts how it rings
You’re the wind in our sails, that keeps blowing us on
Following our hearts to where we say that you belong
