Shellfish Bay

Somewhere tonight
The sea enfolds you 
In a deep sleep 
Or an insomniac's nightmare
The stormy horizon
Reminding you of that shellfish bay
That the little boy called home
The liquid fluidity of New York
Before discovering the sweet comfort
Of finding life in travel
Simultaneously I drive
Through flashing lights
Long dark tunnels
These once modern marvels 
Turned rickety crossings
Your music a solace
Your soul ringing true
The magic of all that is you
Discovering the sweet comfort
Of finding life in your music
When I thought it was passed
While you sleep soundly
Or lie wide awake
On the open ocean 
And think you hear a faint echo
Of your own soulful voice
From my beloved city
Across the barren sea
