Harbour Hawk - Becca Stevens

I sketched a portrait of him

From memory

His hands

His eyes

Like I could bring 'em back to life

Displeased

I ripped it in half

And walked the pieces of

The wind of stern carried 'em back to me

From my sailboat I could see

Two paper wings hover over me

From stem to stern

And ear to ear

I knew that you were everywhere

With brush and canvas

I’ll crush my sadness

And paint those paper wings

Like sails upon my back

And fly like an angel of the sea

Beside my sailor king

The captain of a wise and selfless heart

From my sailboat I could see

Two paper wings hover over me

From stem to stern

And ear to ear

I knew that you were everywhere

From my sailboat I could see

Dark blooming clouds hover over me

A flash of light

A gust of wind

Will bring me to my love again

When the winds pick up

Fall off, fall off, fall off

Fuel the loving canvas

Fall off, fall off, fall off

Trim the jib and reef the main

The nearing gale is closing in

Singing in the rigging

Fall off, fall off, fall off

From my sailboat I can see

Glorious waves of memory

As the waves rage over me

With you, my love

On the wings of the sea
