I Tried

You tried to take me to heaven
But I lost you along the way
I tried to find you in seven
Hundred thousand different ways
I tried to break into heaven
But they laughed, and turned me away
I tried to change the weather
For a month, for a year, no sea was calm

Even though I said to you
I could see your soul and I know
I could feel your life as it grows
I could see the wind as it blows

You tried to teach me a lesson
But I laughed, and turned you away
I tried to stop and it's seven
Hundred thousand there's no way
To shape the things that I'm missing
To sharpen the space that you've known
I tried to change to another
But fear for the worst when the sea was gone

Even though I said to you
I could see your soul and I know
I could feel your life as it grows
I could see the wind as it blows

Slow down, slow down
Where's the loving?
You gotta stay close, stay close, stay close

Even though I said to you
I could see your soul and I know
I could feel your life as it grows
I could see the wind as it blows
