Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Box of Stones
My harbor has a boat in it
The water makes its way around it
When the sun shines down the hills, winds blow
I miss you more

You said I am young, and I am yours
I am free, but I am flawed
I am here in your heart
I was here from the start

The forest had a rock in it
Roots and animals were blocked by it
When they turned all their bones and changed to stone
They lost their faith

You said I am young, and I am yours
I am free, but I am flawed
I am here in your heart
Was here from the start

Then when the rain came and settled on your skin
Not like before when you let it all in
To your heart was the only part
From the start you set upon

You said I am young, and I am yours
I am free, but I am flawed
I am here in your heart
Was here from the start
