All Your Promise - Jesse Marchant

You leaned too far back

Ended on your ass, alone

Counting days to the fair

You can go with

A friend that you lost

Then you’d feel the heat

Sitting near the fire

Now when you’re flying over water

Tell me do you ever feel

That you were denied

Of your reason, all your promise

Hold me, for just once

Without any address

Of failed form

Life’s thorn in my chest

Even if it’s real

Even when I’m lost

I am on your side

I belong to you

You belong to your faults

To your reasons and to the times

Drowning in your ocean of love

Tied to you, a stake in your flood

Still all your brightness of form

Shone under light it gets pale

I would have stayed in your arms

If you could ever get there
