Learning Your Name - Freddie Stevenson

Learning Your Name - Freddie Stevenson
In a boat on the blackest of oceans
By the light of a high crescent moon
I float on the sea's gentle motion
Sleeping and dreaming of you
If I were more of a sailor
The stars would show me the way
You left a kiss on my hand
As I stepped off dry land
But I am still learning your name
A letter arrived this morning
The postman was covered in snow
It lit of my soul up like lightening
It told me nothing I don't already know
If I were more of a soldier
I'd leap right into the fray
Spend the rest of my life
Fighting by your side
But I am still learning your name
Oh my love gives me grace in singing
The grace that I lack in living
My love gives me grace in living
The grace that I lack in dying
My love gives me grace in dying
The grace that I lack in being born again
I know every inch of your face my love
But I am still learning your name
At the bottom of a bottle of whiskey
Lives a woman with long flowing hair
She says Come here my lover and kiss me
But you can't because she's not really there
If I were more of a dreamer
I would stay with her all night and day
But there's no home for love
Outside flesh and blood
And I am still learning your name
Oh my love gives me grace in singing
The grace that I lack in living
My love gives me grace in living
The grace that I lack in dying
My love gives me grace in dying
The grace that I lack in being born again
I know every inch of your face my love
But I am still learning your name
I know every inch of your face my love
But I am still learning your name
