The search
I looked for you in the mountains, I sought you by the sea, I hunted you down nearly everywhere but I could not find thee.
My heart it was my compass, it spun and span and flew and when it failed to find you the first few times, it just started searching anew
I looked for you in the forests, I sought you by the beaches. I hunted you down nearly everywhere, but you were always just beyond my reaches
When the effort was breaking my spirit and my feet were glowing with pain, I looked to the sky and I whispered “ my love am I looking for you in vain?”
The chaos was creeping around me the noise was rushing my ears, it was the sound of desperation and worry that I would be alone for the rest of my years
My vision it became blurry, my footsteps heavy like stone, my heart was spinning so slowly now, creaking and grinding alone.
I rested at the foothills of a wondrous land of green, the grass began to heal my wounds, the shade it cooled my skin, that’s when I felt your hands on mine, pulling my weight in.
You held me in your hands, you made me part of you, then together we stood and started our life anew.
Amazingly inspired by Dolly Parton and how she combines her love songs with being around nature a d not having much else!
