Maze - Justin Bailey

Maze - Justin Bailey
Your lips draw back a curve to the corners
Of your mouth when the world
Gistlle the lot much
Of corporate schemes get rich philosophy
The world's on crack
I watch you from the corner of the room
On the edge of my seat in the shadow of the mantel place
Tussling embers a pop from the fireplace
Our world is calm
Through the slow nights and cold days
Through the strangeness of our ways
Through the straight lines of the maze
Always for you
Through the twists of fate
Always for you
Through the twists of fate
Always for you
For you
For you
Your eyes never once toward mine
I'm drawn in close through the slowing tick of time
I know you're here with me across the room
But it's more than that
As your hands search for pearls in your hair
I watch you watch the world from above
With a child's bright eyes as blue as the sky
How still the night
Through the slow nights and cold days
Through the strangeness of our ways
Through the straight lines of the maze
Always for you
Through the twists of fate
Always for you
Through the twists of fate
Always for you
For you
For you
Always for you
Through the twists of fate
Always for you
Through the twists of fate
Always for you
For you
