One autumn sunset over the ocean
Two pairs of footprints fall apart
Over my shoulder one moon half rising
What a surprising work of art
Oh my heart

Maybe the bottle brings me a message
Stuttering shipwreck washed ashore
Maybe the seagulls speak this new language
Caught in the anguish of the lure
Oh my heart

Leave me my silence leading to thunder
Leave me to wonder at the sky
Leave me to winter—rock salt and shovel
Watching for snowfall from inside
Oh my heart
