traveling to meet someone
you take the wrong ferry run
you end up going way out on the sea
the boat shakes and something cries
you lean your head over the side
but what it was is hiding in the weeds
when you land in nova scotia
no one’s got a a ticket for you
tourist season all the boats are packed
you go walking out of town
drawn to that orchestral sound
but what it was is hiding in the grass
when everyone you love is gone
and you’re still singing the same song
how long will you wander
how long will you need
how long will you search for
creatures that cannot be seen
queen anne’s lace yellow rose
killing birds keeping low
she’s asking when you’re coming home again
you see that ferry come across
you tell her but the call is lost
and what it was is hiding in the wind
you take that 945
standing room overnight
you fall asleep leaning on a screen
then something brings you back to shore
and feeds you what you’re hungry for
but what it was is hiding in your dreams
when everyone you love is gone
and you’re still singing the same song
how long will you wander
how long will you need
how long will you search for
creatures that cannot be seen
how long will you witness
how long will you care
how long can you live with
the creature that’s always there
