Millennium Crossing
Yesterday I looked out across this foreign city
Faces that hint at recognition
And names that demand recollection
But it’s not what I see
Wishing instead, for the place I once called home
Long ago and half a millennium away
I remember your dark eyes
Looking into my soul
Watch it spark
And reading my best kept secrets
I remember the touch
Your body against mine
The memory its own warmth against my heart
Long ago and half a millennium away
Tomorrow I will make it back to you
Escape the towering walls of this city
For soft earth and warm waters
Maybe then we can be in the same place for once
Faces that hint at recognition
And names that demand recollection
But it’s not what I see
Wishing instead, for the place I once called home
Long ago and half a millennium away
I remember your dark eyes
Looking into my soul
Watch it spark
And reading my best kept secrets
I remember the touch
Your body against mine
The memory its own warmth against my heart
Long ago and half a millennium away
Tomorrow I will make it back to you
Escape the towering walls of this city
For soft earth and warm waters
Maybe then we can be in the same place for once
