Tempo’s Tide

He took her to town
She came crashing down
Puddles on the floor
Asking him for more

She was summer’s dream
He was but a seam
Piecing sunset’s shade
Watching daylight fade

He got lost in music
He got lost in him
He got caught in tempo’s tide
And never learned to swim

That was jazz wax, backs, tracks
Morning light headlights
Scratchin’, passion til whole
That was one lost night
Signed the dotted line

He was calmly reckless
He was evening’s smile
He was caught in tempo’s tide
Enjoying all the wild

He brought her the moon
She said, “How? So soon?”
Rolling on the floor
Begging him for more

She owned winter’s throne
Left the sun alone
Moving on from warm
Seeking out a storm
