THE BRAVE HEART & THE FOOL

Born upon the shipwrecked coast
On the day of fools
She kept a light for stranded ghosts
And gathered up the wool

To keep from being lonely
She filled her head with dreams
She never lost a stranded thought
In the gathering

She liked to fall off edges
And never hit the ground
She liked to fall off edges
And wander in the clouds

She had no use for anchors
To hold her to this world
They would only trap her here
And bind, once more, her soul

She liked to fall off edges
And let her heart grow wings
Love was just like endless flight
A wish to fall again

She fell in love with shipwrecked ghosts
And gathered strands of wool
For every heart is made the same
The brave heart and the fool

She found her way through darkness
Through lifetimes lost at sea
For souls who have not shipwrecked yet
The rocks, they cannot see.
