about

Sarah wrote these words as a tribute to the positive difference one human being can make to another in a world where we hear a lot about the negative. This is the first love song she has written for Lloyd. Lloyd wrote a wonderful heavy rock composition that is exactly the kind of music he loves, and it was a perfect match. This song is about how another person can help us remember what it is we want and who it is we want to be when we get lost in the maze of life.

lyrics

I wasted fifty pages on mistakes
Tore up my thoughts in frustration
After all forgot what I set out to make
And so I made you nothing
Unperturbed you gathered up my tantrum shards
And showed me in them a proud reflection

Depths unknown to be feared
We sail out on black waters not our own
But I can always lose my grip
you’ll catch my fingers
You are the ship that carries me home.

I threw away ideas time and time and time again
Refused to steer against the waves
Wore the ground so thin that it was tearing
And so I took you nowhere
With grace you took my hands and kept them steady
Fought the sails and read the guiding stars

Depths unknown to be feared
We sail out on black waters not our own
But I can always lose my grip
you’ll catch my fingers
You are the ship that carries me home.

You drew me to my feet to measure up
And promise something
Held a candle to the treasures
So I’d find you something
But could I ever bring you something on my own?
Do I see our value without the mirror that you hold?

Depths unknown to be feared
We sail out on black waters not our own
But I can always lose my grip
you’ll catch my fingers
You are the ship that carries me home.

In seeing treasure you make treasure grow
You are the sails that lift me home.
