long
adrift on the sea
i long to be
in the arms of arielle
and when
this war is over
i will return
to the light of arielle
she is the charm
of the village in spring
she pulls the chains
when cathedral bells ring
she dances down
the cobble stone streets
she cheers the town
with her smile so sweet
how could i leave her
barefoot in winter?
destiny on the horizon
over treacherous oceans
and salty dog undercurrents of poison
i left to protect you
from the storms on the raging sea
and now i find the barbarian pirate hordes
have sacked the city
and plundered her treasuries
she has a right
to be happy and free
she has a right
to be what she wants to be
she has a right
to whisper to doves
she has a right
to say the answer is love
how can you crash the economy
in the middle of her dream?
they're bleeding red ink
they're blowing up boats
they're hemmoraging jobs
do they want people to starve?
there's panic in the streets
there are houses on fire
there are people who are living it
right down to the wire
they are swamped in despair
drenched in disbelief
drowning in regret
drowning in grief
drowning in debt
foreclosures & divorces
and promises unkept
through no fault of their own
they are lost at
see my love
the treasure
so deep
under the
sea my love
the treasure
so deep
under the
sea
played by the rules
treated as fools
what did they lose?
see my love
the treasure
so deep
under the
sea my love
the treasure
so deep
under the
sea
if doves fly
over the waters
a note from my heart
on the wings of arielle
