Quidam's View

Aladdin Knows His Carpet Rides

Written 11-20-05

Sunset; sailing on paper skies,

Paint your own ending to match your highs

And lows of today.

It will always be this way

If you will only be with me forever more.

 

Take your hand and smear the clouds,

Rise above the calling crowds

That reach out to pull you down,

And break loose from them so you don’t drown.

And with me it’s easier to get away.

 

So come with me and we’ll sail away,

Drifting off into another day.

Soaring through the wind and rain

Until we find the sun again.

And with me the sun will always shine.
