Land And Sea

Claire Voyant


The night I woke in laughter
the pain came surely after 
tried to rise above the sinking feeling 
then the rain fell through my ceiling 

the lives I lead are not a strangers 
and the quiet I need protects me from danger 
I have relied on some strangers notion 
close my eyes I am thinking emotion 

all I have ever wanted 
isn't so strangely out of sync 
with where I am now 
and if the truth remains in verses 
I know the worst is over now 

over land and sea in the motion 
I have survived more on heat than immersion 
I have relied on some divine notion 
close my eyes 
think I am sick from the motion 

all I have ever wanted 
isnt so strangely out of sync 
with where I am now 
and if the truth remains in verses 
I know the verse is over now 

and with a stronger tie than worship 
I know you are there following me 
through all the verses I write 
and if my truth remains in front of me 
I know you are there 
I know the worst is over now
