Safe and Quiet Harbor

Were we ever young and innocent?
Were we ever wild and free?
When we talk about the good old days
Was that how it used to be?
Could we really see the future
Or was it just a dream
That led us down the path
To you and me?

(Chorus)
When lonely hearts pass in the night
Like sailing ships just out of sight
How do they ever chart the same course home?
This safe and quiet harbor
Is where our love begins
We were never meant to sail the seas alone

Was it ever like the movies-
Life on the silver screen?
Did you ever play the hero
In some romantic scene?
Did the action flow as written?
Was it really all it seemed?
Would those some lines work as well
For you and me?

Have you ever had to live alone
Without the light of love?
Have you ever tried to fly the night
Without the stars above?
If you could find this harbor
Would you ever choose to roam
Or would you travel home
To you and me?

Thomas Hubbard (c. 1990)
