For John

Waiting for evening skies
Searching for the vibes and signs
Dreaming of sleeping whales
Singing the untold tales
And if I close my eyes
I'm the hurricane, merciless rain and a flood
Every time I fall from skies
I am the unspoken last silent word of God
Riding the rays of light
Leashing the hounds of fright
Trying what can't be tried
Sleeping with those who died
Like it's the final hour
Bleeding out the words of power
And if I close my eyes
I'm the hurricane, merciless rain and a flood
Every time I fall from skies
I am the unspoken last silent word of God
And the paths I tread
Bring me to the end
The end I do not dread
So tired and spent
And I do know that many more
Will follow in my steps
So the paths I tread
Brought me to the end
Few last moments to spend
Painting with breath on glass
Praising all things to pass
Keeping the loose ends loose
Laughing the doomed can't choose
And if I close my eyes
I'm the hurricane, merciless rain and a flood
Every time I fall from skies
I am the unspoken last silent word of God
Close your eyes and swim
Waters of the dream
Carried away will be
My name in the stream
