I chase these days in short strides   I shade this state until next tide   Turning leaves cross highway lines   Northern lights that cleanse my mind   Spotted glass reflects the hours   Signal strong   Why these questions loom unanswered   With no resolve   Why these questions loom unanswered   I chase these days in short strides   I shade this state until next tide   I won't be leaving   This ship will sail for days   To settle the storm   I'll set course and drift on through   Read beyond the shift in these days   Saving face means more each night   Patterned thought results in the same   Falling short brings more insight   Bought another day through this failing grace   These words consistently lead nowhere   But my focus keeps me growing   With every chord   This ship will sail for days   For days and weeks through   Read beyond the shift these days   Saving face means more each night   Patterned thought results in the same   Falling short brings more insight   Bought another day through this failing grace   These words consistently lead nowhere   But my focus keeps me growing   With every chord   I won't be leaving   This ship will sail for days   To settle the storm
