She Shines

I see the lights
Dance on the bay
All of the dark
Falls away

A glow from the heights
Glances along the water's skin
Nimble and bright
Swallowed in

I’m always breathless to see
Growing so slowly to greet me
Where I end and where she begins

When she shines for me at night
And her skies show green and white
She will keep us in her sight
We all lie beneath her light

Lost in the clouds
Like tears in the rain
Winking alone
All the same

Sleeping below
We never mind her diligence
Watching us all
Lie awake

Just on the edge of a dream
Growing so slowly to greet me
Tearing at all of its seams

When she shines for me at night
And her skies show green and white
She will keep us in her sight
We all lie beneath her light

When she shines for me at night
And her skies show green and white
She will keep us in her sight
We all lie beneath her light
