Nomadic Ways
By Alicia Viani
Home was wherever I pleased
nomadic blood’s hot in me
being with me meant you wandered with me
sorry love, I didn’t know how to stay
My ship isn’t easy to turn
I can’t reset the course to new ways
just when I saw your shores and your caves
you hollered I should stay on board
And I’m standing up high on a mountain looking far down below
And I’m leaving here knowing things that before I didn’t know
These hills that dip to that sea
are separate but meet underneath
you be you and I will be me
together we’ll live and let be
I’m leaving the cold behind
and I am leaving you behind too
you try to see me but you only see you
lets get our fill then turn to new views
And I’m standing up high on a mountain looking far down below
And I’m leaving here knowing things that before I didn’t know
These hills that dip to that sea
are separate but meet underneath
you be you and I will be me
together we’ll live and let be
