lyrics

I came to the surface; I forgot to dive
And on top of the waves I learned to ride.
My face gave gold to the setting sun
The moon was a treasure I would hunt for fun
And I rode and I rode till I was done.

It's a beautiful gift that I didn't deserve
And I laughed every day till my belly hurt
And the work was hard but I knew it was good
To keep my head above water as long as I could
And my eyes were opened and I understood

I breathed in as much as my lungs could take
And I pushed my heart till I felt it break
And all the little pieces like shooting stars
Flew too high and they flew too far
And they lit up the night like a thousand scars

I fell under water; I forgot to stay
Life has a habit of going that way
Back to the land that the sun can't reach
Never knew I could drown so close to the beach
Yeah sorrow has a lesson that it wants to teach.

(When I read your words
The voice I heard
Was lucid and yearning
Passionate burning
Like a ship
Without a course
Like a knight
Without a horse
You were led to the edge
And you chose to take a step)

Phillip Le Ross British Columbia

My name is Phil and I'm a singer-songwriter living on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. I'm also a husband, a father, and a municipal worker. Somewhere in between all that, I try my best to follow the inner pull that urges on the next new song. My musical interests are varied and this reflects itself in the type of songs I write. Thanks for listening! ... more
