My love is too large for this world

My love is too large
it's too big and too broad
It soars like a bird
and reaches out to the stars
You could wrap the universe three times
There would still be love to spare

Waiting for the tide to come in

Found an old one... seems a bit apropos currently...

Standing on the shore of uncertainty,
watching the waves of the future crash off in the distance
I am lost as I look out
trying to discern which wave I will ride
which boat will be mine
I am standing here waiting for the tide

Dragging dirty derailleurs across the field while you carry my limp body hanging by a thread in your eye
Well the gears are not turning and the wheels are not spinning and you are splitting my hairs with your fears and reprise
You know once there were many, there were plenty of men and now the water is dry so I'm looking to her
And maybe she won't be better, but I'll let her come close and if you ever get bored you can gallop beside
And you know that I know you, and you know me quite well but you are missing the point while you shoot at the mouth
and the blanks that were loaded suspiciously have exploded and the mess and debris will still bury our sound

Lonely planets

We live in foreign worlds
and
we come from worlds more foreign still
crossing lines that restrict
one life from the next
this world is more real
We close your blinds
and
close our eyes
so the sun can't reach us here
So this dream sleeps on
un-shattered and
our secret can be safe
until

Come out of the darkness little one

Child be still, you've no need to cry
You should know that I love you
You should know that they tried
You've come to shine truth
And you will become strong
And it works out you know
And your life will be long
Come out of your corner
And step into the sun
Reflect light from your eyes
Hold my hand little one
I am the mother you lost
I am the friend that you need
I love you like no one
So let go of your fear
You've much work to do
To bring love to the world
But our love is no good
when your wounds are not cured
So here is your bandage
and a kiss for to heal
the hurt in you heart
that still feels so real
There is nothing you need
That your own love can't fill
So now is the time
To climb over this hill
So come out of the darkness
and step into the light
it's time to let go
the time has arrived
