Courteous Love

Lay your head down by the sea
Waves are crashing over me
When the tide comes in
You will be in my mind
Every certainty that crumbles in my hands
Was I so blind ?

Misbelief planted the seed
In days we always disagreed
Secrets roofed my fate
You will be in my mind
Visions in the dark
A God without remorse
Was left behind

Oh God of all, please hear my prayer
Merged in flows of cold despair
A cry for help to my friend
Forbidden colours, heaven-sent

Skilled in habits how to hide
Persisting in reflecting pride
Come down to this soil
You will be in my mind
Let me feel your warmth
The luster of your eyes
Was I so blind?

For some odd cause from far above
Deprived of poise and courteous love
