Red Mountains

Here in this poor room
Sleep has stolen you, but
Strange noises keep me awake
I can see your body is a boat
Keeping you afloat in dreams
Here in this small room
Sleep has stolen you but
Strange noises keep me awake
I can see your body is a boat
Keeping you afloat in dreams
I told you about red mountains that rise out of water
I told you about a house under three full moons
And I wonder what you’re dreaming on your silent journey
And caressing your forehead I tell you more stories
Falling in my own memories
Are you happy to be on my side in this world of billions?
Should we continue this ride that hasn’t even begun?
My body is a boat and your body is a boat
Keeping us afloat in dreams
I’ll take you to red mountains that rise out of water
I’ll keep you in a house under three full moons
And I’ll caress your forehead until your hair turns gray
And I’ll follow the lines of your face
My body is a boat and you’re travelling in me
