Dave's Ghost
It begins with a bow, sliding slow across a string
Gaining speed, a melody finds me stranded, lost at sea
But the song carries me, leads me to someone who cares
Ah to tell her she was beautiful, but I was just too scared
Oh no, I was quiet instead
All thing considered, I'm in way over my head
But take a chance, be naive, cause in a week or two I'll leave
And I don't want to regret knowing you were something that I need
We could meet, take it slow, plant a seed and watch it grow
Twice a year we'd find each other in the summer and the snow
We could be in love, anyway we can
And knowing full well nothing happens as we plan
If we run out of time to spend
Well all things considered, it was worth it in the end
So check your shoes at the door, we don't need them where we're going
From the white caps of the Swiss Alps to the Mariana floor
And the sounds from the deep, ancient tongues we couldn't speak
Told us love is but a voice that whispers secrets while we sleep
Caught a drift on a wave at sea
If we never go back, it won't matter much to me
I'd jump off this wooden pier tonght
If you were waiting when I washed ashore
And if you told me everything's alright
Well all things considered, who could ask for something more?
If one day I awake to find you gone, my heart would break
I'd probably lock myself inside my room, and ponder my mistakes
And the wheels would start to spin, begin the cycle once again
I would tremble uncontrollably, but cherish every memory
The same, the same, the same
Well all things considered, I might be bitter but it's worth the pain
