Wilderness/Call me home

 I've got a place for us underneath the stars

But I can't hold your hand anymore

Life and death are one, near or far

We hold the keys to the door


When you were out in the wilderness

Did you see God?

did you know what he was thinking of

Did you meet the Devil

Or an Angel of love?


Oh call me home from the Wilderness

Call me home

The wild called me for a while

The thrill, the will to survive, the threat

But in all that adventure I managed to forget

All those who loved me dearly

I managed to neglect my family

And that is the deeper wilderness

It is the lost life

The life without love

So I'm asking you to call me home

But your voice is lost in the wind


I can't remember to forget you

And you've already forgotten me

In the forest of memory

Where the twisted trees

Have blocked out the sunlight


Do you remember swimming

Swimming across the bay with me?

I thought I couldn't keep going

But with you by my side 

we swam across the sea
