Patricia Ossowski: Music

on a sea

(Patricia Ossowski)
write it down right on paper
use the words that best describe all the bliss the emptiness
all the wrongs i hold so deep inside

take the paper fold what i wrote fold it into a cargo boat

Set it free set it adrift on a sea
let the tide
let it be

use the colors use the stains
use my blues use my reds my remains all the grit the unfairness of it
and the weight and the depth of my shame

take the paper fold what i wrote fold it into a cargo boat

Set it free set it adrift on a sea
let the tide
let it be

let my tears let my lies
fill the paper between the lines all the truth nothing but my truth
absolutely it’s no time to hide

take the paper fold what i wrote fold it into a cargo boat

Set it free set it adrift on a sea
let the tide
let it be
