Undertow

Undertow

I was wading in the undertow

set adrift with feather-weight-like bones

unaware of where my heart would flow

I was wading in the undertow

Can't touch the bottom

set into a tumble 

waves that shake me out 

out of my skin 

never been so easy

losing my direction

my bearings have me south of home

I've been wrong before 

I was wading in the undertow

set adrift with feather-weight-like bones

unaware of where my heart would flow

I was wading in the undertow 

And the water feels

like a friend I’ve not seen in years

so familiar and strange at once

like a lover who lost her touch

At first I was hesitant 

now it seems oh so curious

how’d I wind up so far from home

when I barely had left the shore

I was wading in the undertow

set adrift with feather-weight-like bones

unaware of where my heart would flow

I was wading in the undertow

And I was dreaming of a love I lost

I fell asleep within an autumn flow

I never knew I’d drift so far from home

while I was wading in the undertow, undertow
