Valentine’s Day Song forOlivia

[Verse]
The calendar marks a day I never used to keep
Before the grey world decided to wake from its sleep
I recall the tilt of the earth when you walked in
A sudden alignment where the New Year began
Olivia, the dust on the portrait has finally cleared
Ending the silence I held for so many years
Now the frost on the glass starts to soften and fade
In the heat of the quietest vow we have made

[Chorus]
This is the maiden voyage of a heart found at sea
A steady devotion from the wreckage of me
I plant my colors in the soil of your grace
Finding a kingdom in the lines of your face
Every tomorrow is a debt I will pay
To keep the cold shadows forever away
Olivia, the ghosts of the past have all fled
I mean every syllable that stays unsaid

[Chorus]
This is the maiden voyage of a heart found at sea
A steady devotion from the wreckage of me
I plant my colors in the soil of your grace
Finding a kingdom in the lines of your face
Every tomorrow is a debt I will pay
To keep the cold shadows forever away
Olivia, the ghosts of the past have all fled
I mean every syllable that stays unsaid

[Verse]
The streetlamps are dimming but your eyes are enough
To navigate through all the jagged and rough
I used to measure the seasons by what I had lost
Counting the damage and weighing the cost
But you redefined how the gravity pulls
Filling the hollows until they were full
So take this small promise under the moon
That the spring in my soul came exactly for you

[Chorus]
This is the maiden voyage of a heart found at sea
A steady devotion from the wreckage of me
I plant my colors in the soil of your grace
Finding a kingdom in the lines of your face
Every tomorrow is a debt I will pay
To keep the cold shadows forever away
Olivia, the ghosts of the past have all fled
I mean every syllable that stays unsaid

[Chorus]
This is the maiden voyage of a heart found at sea
A steady devotion from the wreckage of me
I plant my colors in the soil of your grace
Finding a kingdom in the lines of your face
Every tomorrow is a debt I will pay
To keep the cold shadows forever away
Olivia, the ghosts of the past have all fled
I mean every syllable that stays unsaid
