Standing
I’m only standing here
 The wind, my wind, and I
 Standing in the port
 Of my flight to the moment
 In my flight to her
 
 I’m only standing here
 The lights flashing past my eyes
 As we, the cargo are shaken
 Upon the rickety tracks
 Of the 9 o’clock train
 The 9 o’clock train to my love
 
 I’m only standing here
 The bustle of commute to my right
 And the slams of builders to my right
 In my hand there is a locket
 Crafted in perfection
 My locket
 Her locket
 
 I’m only standing here
 Casting off the anchors
 Raising the sails, and venturing the horizon
 I run my hand through the sea as I think of her
 Its blue glisten quite so beautiful
 Sharp beautiful blue
 That perfect match of hers
 
 I’m only standing here
 Gazing into the lights
 Millions of miles, afar
 Watching the moon glide through
 The subtle evening sky
 An ivory skin, pebbled perfectly
 So as the romance of her freckles
 
 I’m only standing here
 I’m only just a man
 Just one among the masses
 I write with my hands 
 And sail my soul
 I fly with my eyes
 And ride on the train
 But if anything I must do
 So very essential
 I must go home
 And I must love her
