Far and Wide (Garry Fletcher)
– for Linda & Håkan –
VERSE 1
Let’s wait a moment in the doorway
As we walk into the light
Hand in hand to share this moment
Warming sunrise after night
Let’s step out and touch the pavement
Weeds that play along the path
Wild and free, they smell amazing
Side by side, along the grass
Ground! Just hold us closer
True ground! Hold us tight
Ground! Hold us forever
True ground – until next night
VERSE 2
In the morning
As the cool air
Fills the wonderness of place
Breeze blows gently
Breathing soft, it
Lifts your hair across your face
Breath of life
Let’s embrace its gentle urging
Bringing hope of new horizons
Sweetly scented in the air
Breath of life!
Look up, see the treetops swaying
Hear the whisper of their calling
As they name the dream we share
Wind! Be a guide for us.
Wind – be our guide
VERSE 3
Leave the wisps of
Past misgivings
On the shoreways of the past
There is nothing worth regretting
It’s our hopes that tie us fast
Let’s sail out
With the stars above to guide us
And the love we have beside us
It’s enough for us to share
Sail, Sail on!
With the drifting deep around us
And a future that is boundless
We are everything we dare
Sea! Swell your tide for us
Sea! Far and wide
VERSE 4
We’ll be open
To the moment
Dancing in the showers that we share
Thank the storms that bring their waters
I kiss the raindrops from your hair
Open clouds
Rain your rain, your water’s needed
Wash our dreams ‘til they shine brightly
They’re the future that we seek
Sweet, sweet rain
For even as it’s falling
My thirst for you is always
I drink the raindrops from your cheek
Sky! Show us wide above
Sky! Show us wide.
VERSE 5
Journeys made of
Soft embraces
Love is gentle on the land
We take nothing but in sharing
Leave only footprints in the sand
We will find
As we journey onward
Spirits rising skyward with
A love that’s ocean deep
We will find
Time and place within us
The gift of ever always
And a destiny to keep
Heart! Beat as one for us.
You for mine, mine for you
Heart! Beat as one for us
Ever Heart! Heart beat true!
