Sometimes it is though
My soul lies inside the shadow of yours
Amber eyes
Like the glistening sun on yellow autumn leaves
This is where I am at home
Within your laughter I can dance
Your aura my being
I hold your hand yet I am free
At home is your love for me.
If ever I am prey to the night
And begin to fade into the darkness,
I will look to your light
For it is the return of mine
And the children that run within
In the rivers and the stars
You are
The mirrors of my heart
Sometimes, when the devil conspires
Sadness prevails
And it is fire upon fire
Yet it is the depth of our waters
That lies the furies to rest
Like the ocean is a blanket
At once we are together again
Our home within
As spirits of the seas
Sink into shores
We become somewhat of the other
It is there we will be
At home with another
It is there we are
Together and free
