Taking on Water

On a sailboat I am
slowly floating nowhere
lost the memories of
where I am and why

Black ocean churning
a million stars are burning
planetariums were
right About the sky

Once upon a day
I set off on a journey
wishing on the wind
to take me far from home
now I'm on the waves
and I'm taking on water
hard to see
I won't always be alone

There was a time
when August sun was high
and centered on me
but it dipped behind my back
and settled down
I Used to square it with the land
used to size it in my hand
but it fell
behind the line
that leads to sky

Once upon a day
I set off on a journey
wishing on the wind
take me far from home
now I'm on the waves
and I'm taking on water
hard to see
I won't always be alone

Inside this storm
whipping in the wind
my sail is torn
in other words
the ends
I met are not my own

Hard to see
I won't always be alone

On a sail boat I am
slowly floating nowhere
hoping someday
I'll wash upon
someone else's shore





I want to marry John Mayer's songwriting.
