The Perfect Plan

Grey Eye Glances

meet me down alone by the river

ready the boat we push off at sunset

no regrets just clear empty spaces

one last look, prepare yourself hold on tight

 

I've been watching you some time at some distance never knew some things still surprise me like how your eyes can capture my moments why return when all I believe is

 

here at once I tell you what I mentioned did I forget to mention

the breeze is from the west

almost too often

the sounds are solace-softened

 

drove a hundred miles in a foreign land

found my refuge scattered like dust upon the landscape and all we need is a perfect plan

and I believe I have one

I buried it in the darkened sand

 

so it rained we walked

you said you felt nothing

almost there

there can you feel that

swear I saw this scene in some movie

long before or was it a dream

 

I had to wait until the window opened

until the spell was broken to bits

I thought I left behind a shadow of doubt within the hollows

 

drove a hundred miles in a foreign land

found my refuge scattered like dust upon the landscape and all we need is a perfect plan

and I believe I have one

I buried it in the darkened sand

 

darker still, how still is the river

yes we wrote it years ago in letters

did we expect it ever to come

and come to think of it I noticed

a shifting in the distance

a changing in the substance

 

drove a hundred miles in a foreign land

found my refuge scattered like dust upon the landscape and all we need is a perfect plan

and I believe I've got it

 

drove a hundred miles in a foreign land

found my refuge scattered like dust upon the landscape and all we need is a perfect plan

and I have seen a hint of it

almost caught a glimpse of it

maybe it is best if we

 

tie the boat

respect for the river

even time

keeps her own secrets
