Motion

Set in motion my imagination's miles
A million lights expose those magic cities on the Nile
And my young trials lead me sailing down this stream
Of hidden songs and steam and my piano, it floats and echoes
A moonbeam through the kite she sent
Read "Is your wooden boat in sight?"
And while I replied, "It's not"

It was in fact not far from right outside
I would surprise her, wake her up and rise her
Go swimming in the night's horizon, then dry her
Offer the familiar passage of my outstretched hand

Say when you coming home? She said
"Why not come on my boat instead?'
'Cause I'm tired of all your currents and your tides
Your moods creating whirlpools
And you're in love with the ride and I
Want some peace and quiet!"

So we fought a while, and caught our breath a while
I told her how the purple flowers glow along the riverside
She told me all she wanted was me home with some time
I showed her how the sky was only water inclined
I told her all about the huts, the kind of music we played
She reminded me the flashes past a house is well-made
I told her about the spot where all the oceans collide
She said that 'You could have that with me every night' and so

Set in motion my imagination's miles
A million lights expose those magic cities on the Nile
And my young trials leads me sailing down this stream
Of hidden songs and steam and my piano, it floats and echoes

So when you coming home? She said
'Why not come on my boat instead?'
'Cause I'm tired of all your currents and your tides
Your moods creating whirlpools
And you're in love with the ride and I
I need you
