Two Rowboats
Japanese Blossoms
We’re two rowboats drifting in circles
Dancing on the quiet lake
Those striders sail around us
Humming while they waterskate
The sun is sinking and your hair is gold
Shimmers as the minnows waltz below
Our two rowboats make their circles
Trying not to separate
Hold fast, Hold strong
Steady as the tide we roll on
We change, we move
But I’m forever tethered to you
Dark clouds mark their arrival
As the storm is moving in
The trees they’re bending, bowing
In submission to the wind
We’re tossed about by angry shoves
And we must fight to keep this love
Move quickly, grab your paddle
We are warriors til the end
Hold fast, Hold strong
Steady as the tide we roll on
We change, we move
But I’m forever tethered to you
I’ll never let you go
I’ll never let you go
I’ll never let you go
I’ll never let you go
