These Wings

Helena's hollow
She lives in a sail
Drift on a promise
Of delicate details

Her ark is a shipwrecked
Touch till she breathes
Love's whisper passing
And laying down reeds

Caroline the shy girl
Made only of air
Breathlessly singing
On a wing and a prayer

Secrets that shadow
Lie in the deep
Carried along
And laid down to sleep

These winds
And cold, dark rain
Blows, breaks
And remains

These winds
And cold, dark rain
Blows, breaks
And remains

She hides with a veil
Speaks reassuring
But her voice is frail

Dancing covertly
Afraid we might fall
Sweep me away
And feel nothing at all

These winds
And cold, dark rain
Blows, breaks
And remains

These winds
And cold, dark rain
Blows, breaks
And remains

These winds
And cold, dark rain
Blows, breaks
And remains

These winds
And cold, dark rain
Blows, breaks
And remains

Helena's hollow
She lives in a sail
Drift on a promise
