From the upcoming album, "The Future of Love" by Luke Velu

lyrics

I still remember, the fear was so raw.
Repairing my boat after battle on our golden shore.
All the fighting exhausted you as I pulled out of the bay.
When I turned around to find, you had drifted away.

I was once Shipwrecked you know, stranded & lost.
So desperate I needed I savior, no matter the cost.
But now I sit in the captain's chair,
I keep sailing tonight.
While you're dreaming of a golden shore.
You will awake to the distant light.

Then I appear to you.
It's the miracle of life when I see you.
We are all here for you.
So come share my meal, let's speak true.
Your heart isn't made of steel.
And I know how that feels.

And by the time this summer's done.
Who knows where you will be found.
So I will send for help.
From all those horrors that you've felt.

Crawl across the dead sand, wounded.
Pray for a rescue, wounded.
You'll be alright, you're just a little wounded.
And I miss you, I miss you so.

If only we were still ships passing.
I would climb aboard yours.
But the undertow dragged you away, ripped you under.
Into the deep, dark, mystery where I can't find you.
Now the swell is building.
And you'll soon be healing.
When the waves come crashing.
And the wind's got your sail.
You are the ocean afterall.
And she will be guiding you home.
To your golden shore.
