Even The Dead Have Their Tasks-Being As An Ocean[00:00:00]

We pack up our gear[00:00:30]

And we're gone again[00:00:31]

Driven by passion, outward[00:00:33]

Away from family and friends[00:00:37]

But what they can't see[00:00:40]

Is that every day I'm drowning in a sea[00:00:42]

Of faces that I miss so desperately[00:00:47]

With each flashing countenance[00:00:51]

A torrent of emotion, joy, and memories[00:00:54]

The people I've grown to love so deeply [00:00:58]

Throughout the years[00:01:01]

I've chosen a big family[00:01:01]

And the weight of their absence[00:01:03]

Has brought me more than once to tears[00:01:04]

I wake from sleep violently[00:01:06]

Only to witness those lives and faces[00:01:08]

Disappear slowly behind me[00:01:10]

(I'm drowning)[00:01:13]

Again I'm pulled back into deep waters[00:01:14]

Washed further away from my sisters and brothers[00:01:15]

Am I truly living a dream[00:01:18]

When the only time I spend with you is in my sleep?[00:01:20]

How am I to stay the course, to remain bold[00:01:25]

When all those my heart longs for[00:01:32]

Remain firmly anchored at home[00:01:35]

Am I truly living a dream[00:01:40]

When the only time I spend with you is in my sleep?[00:01:44]

With every "it's-been-awhile" embrace[00:01:53]

I wish it could last an eternity[00:01:55]

Silently praying for the courage to say[00:01:59]

"Oh G-d, how I've missed you! [00:02:02]

I've seen you in my sleep![00:02:06]

We were laughing, crying, joking[00:02:09]

You know, the way it used to be[00:02:10]

Back when we younger and all that much more free[00:02:12]

I just hope you see that nothing's changed between you and me[00:02:15]

No matter the time we've spent apart[00:02:19]

I know it's not always easy to show it[00:02:21]

But please believe that I carried you in my heart[00:02:24]

That you were with me through every mile[00:02:26]

I could have sworn I saw your phantom standing in the aisle!"[00:02:28]

It seems you already know what I'm thinking[00:02:32]

And that, even after all this time[00:02:34]

Some things still do go without saying[00:02:36]

We savored the taste of our sweet youth[00:02:38]

And now, with calloused hands, gather the remaining fruit[00:02:40]

To go any farther, we must endure further pains[00:02:43]

Skinned, mashed, and finally strained[00:02:47]

Fermenting in the time spent away[00:02:57]

Only to return with a fine vintage[00:03:02]

To cheers to the health of those who stayed[00:03:09]
