From Whence We Came

I can see our house by that lake where you and I first met.
How soft the sunlight did feel as it warmed us,
made us disappear into the bottom of waters.
our fathers were fishing by the dock.
We shared a kiss to unite us, from whence we came is the place where we'd depart.

I can see doorsteps and footmats, different names for the same things.
I can see Delores & Johnny are locked within a waltz.
All the children are happy, they're laughing and dancing all along.
While the jukebox sings it, all the babies; safe asleep inside a song.

" I raise my head, to breath in again.
His head sinks in, as your final breath is lost I exhale with yours,
Just like I dreamed when I was a little girl.
Rest your eyes once more, this is our departure in this world. "

I can see two jobs and your pension, just trying to make a means to an end.
I can see a paycheck and its figures, it brings me to my knees and I scream,
"John, why did you leave me?" That's when Junior, he walked in through the porch.
They say he looks a lot like you,and he likes that, I thought you might like that too

I can see Doctors and Laurie clutching flowers in a vase.
I can see my chart from the sorrows that are written on their face.
"This ain't a place for a man to see his end through." she smiles and nods her head.
"Take me to a place from whence we came, that lake that births and heals the dead."

" Our final breaths taken together again.
I sink my head, my heart afloat in your chest.
Rest my sore eyes, drift away like ripples in the tide.
This is my last goodbye, meet me in the next life. "
