gonna find a lost girl
gonna show her how to love
gonna climb that mountain
and shout out her name

left her behind
standing at the station
left her behind
waving at tears in the rain
left her standing with my suitcase girl

went out walking one day
to see where the gray sky
meets up with the sea
went out walking one day
to find me a lost girl
found her hiding in the waves

left her behind again
standing and staring
left her behind then
sharing the waves with the rain
left her standing with the surf girl

went out crying today
to see why my heart is gray
and found me a lost girl
found her hiding in the rain

she left me behind
left me standing staring
she left me behind
waving at tears in the rain
she left me standing with my suitcase girl

i am always surprised how little, how small, how minute, how seemingly insignificant a smile or touch or word can be and how powerful the impact can be

so God gave you to me

because he loves to surprise with joy

there was nothing and that nothing was nothing at all but now there's you
and when you said you loved me too we cried
scary and new and filled with potential there seemed a lot to lose in losing you
but you tasted like a light whitish blue like the sky and i knew you would always be beautiful
and though i was afraid i would pollute and dilute
i found love is a purifier and a giver when it is a gift of God
and not something i dragged to the party kicking and screaming
but i also found love was filled with your forgiveness and your patience and your guiding
and i knew God had sent you to help him bring me home
where we would stay
