Across The Ice
Love's Arctic Pursuit: A Melodic Odyssey
Lyrics
All up my arm and all down my spine
Sensations of something intense running through my body
It quickens the blood, paralyzes the mind
Stimulates my blood flow, overwhelms my thoughts
It follows me around like some kind of crime
It persists like a persistent wrongdoing or burden
Taken with the shape of it, can't support the weight of it
Attracted to its form, unable to handle its heaviness
It won't abate no matter how hard I try
Despite efforts, it doesn't lessen or diminish
You're in my blood, you're in the wine
You are deeply ingrained in me, in my essence
I spit your name as I tend your shrine
I mention your name while caring for your memory
Raise your flag so I raise mine
Show your identity, and I'll show mine
And I'll look for you across the ice
I'll search for you even in challenging circumstances
You took your time, and I took a vow
You took your own pace, and I made a promise
But who was I then-who are you now?
Questioning identities in different times
I looked right past your shot off the bow
I ignored the clear warning or signal you gave
Waiting for my sailor, I became the jailor
While waiting for your return, I became my own captor
Locked in the cell where I am now
Confined in a place of isolation where I am currently
You're in my blood, you're in the wine
You're deeply rooted in me, part of my essence
I spit your name as I tend your shrine
I honor your memory by invoking your name
Raise your flag so I raise mine
Display your allegiance, and I'll display mine
And I'll look for you across the ice
I'll persistently seek you, no matter the difficulties
You have endless space, I have endless time
You have boundless freedom, while I have endless waiting
To leave behind the hate, to learn to love the wait
To let go of resentment and embrace patience is simpler to suggest than to do
Is easy to advise from the other side
It's easier to advise from a distant, uninvolved standpoint
