This one took awhile to come together...
I've seen when you shined bright
You made a day of darkest night
But now you're leaving for the moon
A day I feared would come too soon
These weeks you seem a restless soul
A missing piece, a lacking whole
I've seen in your darker times
The words won't flow and nothing rhymes
I'll make just one request
This has to be confessed
I'd like to help your quest
Take me with you
I'll try to be your northern star
Should we roam near or travel far
I've known you across so many years
Measured out in smiles and tears
You tell me here you can't remain
I can feel your inner pain
The highway calls you on ahead
I aim to follow where you've led
I'll make just one request
This has to be confessed
I'd like to help your quest
Take me with you
The only home I've ever known
Is by your side, just us alone
I'll be your shelter, be your shield
As threads of time are slow revealed
If ever you should wander so
To the places only you can go
I'll keep a hearth and guard my heart
'Til we're no longer far apart
I'll make just one request
This has to be confessed
Take my love to guide your quest
I'll still be with you
