Hymn

Somewhere high up in the air there

I had long forgotten I belong to you

Some unconscious stream of twisted logic

Caught me in its whirlwind, left me black and blue

I was senseless, battered and defenseless

Rain became relentless, leaving barren skies

I was broken, all I left unspoken

Left me torn wide open, barely still alive

Found your letter sealed away in storage

Under my pretenses, buried out of view

I recalled it hidden in a notebook

Tattered, ruffled pages old but good as new

I was listless, how could I have missed this?

If you are the groundswell, I'm tossed in your tide

I was certain if I'd seen it comin'

I'd have started running back at the starting line

Well I faltered, left you at the altar

Offering my apologies and my gratitude

Now there's a sinking feeling in my chest

You're gonna love me less when I return to you

But you were never one to keep a record

One to hold against me all I failed to prove

I've been tethered, floating like a feather

Anxious in my roaming, stranded on the move
