Stormy waters - to be free.
D Has just sent me these lyrics in an email. Just the lyrcis, nothing else:
I am sailing, I am sailing, home again 'cross the sea
I am sailing stormy waters, to be near you, to be free
I am flying, I am flying, like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds, to be near you, to be free
Can you hear me, can you hear me, through the dark night far away
I am dying, forever crying, to be near you, who can say
Can you hear me, can you hear me, through the dark night far away
I am dying, forever crying, to be near you, who can say
We are sailing, we are sailing, home again, 'cross the sea
We are sailing, stormy waters, to be near you, to be free
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh my Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh my Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh Lord
He doesn't know I used to listen to that when we moved out the cafe (I was 11). I used to sing it till my heart broke with the love and friendliness of the boarders and men in the cafe in mind. I wondered if I had just disappeared to them or if they knew I ached with all my soul for their warmth, that I was utterly homesick and just desperately wanted to be with them. D doesn't know that - not about the song, the lyrics he sent reminded me of something I'd forgotten.
I've never read them, never seen them, never thought of them as 'to me' not 'from me'.
I wrote back that he could just get off the boat and wade in if he wants, he's done the high seas bit, I'm here, he could just walk home.
I am sailing, I am sailing, home again 'cross the sea
I am sailing stormy waters, to be near you, to be free

I am flying, passing high clouds, to be near you, to be free
Can you hear me, can you hear me, through the dark night far away
I am dying, forever crying, to be near you, who can say
Can you hear me, can you hear me, through the dark night far away
I am dying, forever crying, to be near you, who can say
We are sailing, we are sailing, home again, 'cross the sea
We are sailing, stormy waters, to be near you, to be free
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh my Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh my Lord, to be near you, to be free

I know he still has his struggles and pain but I also know some of it is past tense.
It's very similar to his feelings about the years we were miles apart, while he dealt with the height of addiction and started to fight it instead of just letting it take him. It took him bloody ages - but nearly a decade later he did find his way back to me.
I think now he really does just have to get off his boat - thank it, then wade on home!!
