This song was written for possible inclusion into a movie called "Between Weathers" while I was living in Bangkok.
lyrics
Carry you
You were standing still, by the water’s edge
Sent a message there, floating on the tide
When I close my eyes, I see your waves
Reminds me of your face, reminds me of this place
When the grass grew high, from the warm summer rain
I would carry you, remember I can carry you
If the sea runs dry, and the winds fall still
The rain subsides, and the shores are still
If you look to me, If you see my face
I will carry you, you know that I can carry you
Carry you away, Carry you away.
If I could embrace, the slightest sense of grace
The emptiness I feel would let me go.
The tide would make its way, like any other day
The emptiness I feel would let me go
When the sea rolls in, kisses your feet
I would carry, remember I can carry you
If you look for me, if you see my face
I will carry, you know that I can carry you
Carry you away, Carry you away.
