Haven
Navigating Love's Turbulence: Andrea Bignasca's 'Haven'
Lyrics
I've been docking at night
I have been arriving at night
slight touch on the side
A gentle touch on the side
ropes get thrown
Ropes are thrown
I watch them glide
I observe them smoothly moving
by and by on my own
Gradually, on my own
I quicken my pace
I increase my speed
as though I'm in a race
As if I'm in a competition
till I'm at your door
Until I reach your door
would you let me in
Would you allow me to enter
lay me down
Place me down
would you let me sin
Would you allow me to commit a sin
all night
All night
who decides how much time we own?
Who determines the duration of our existence?
oh lord, will the tide delay, if implored, its flow?
Oh Lord, will the tide delay if begged to slow down?
I must be off and leave you
I must depart and leave you
here's a song
Here's a song
god knows in how long I'd see you
God knows how long it will be until I see you again
hope I'm wrong
I hope I'm mistaken
had to lay down once more
Had to lie down once more
at your side
Next to you
hope I'm too late to board
I hope I'm too late to board this time
this time
This time
who decides, how many oars to enrol?
Who decides how many oars to enlist?
who divines, who will chart our course?
Who determines who will navigate our path?
I hope this time I'll find it sooner than before
I hope to find it sooner than before this time
this hallowed ground underneath my soles
This sacred ground beneath my feet
may the heavens collide
May the heavens collide
and storm me back on safer grounds
And return me to safer grounds
may the stars realign
May the stars realign
and misguide us back ahead of time
And mislead us back in time
before I ran my course
Before I completed my journey
before I'm swallowed whole
Before I am consumed entirely
before I even left you at all
Before I even left you in any way
before I left you at all
Before I left you completely
before I left you at all
Before I left you entirely
back before I left you at all
Back before I left you at all
before I left you at all
Before I left you at all
