Dream of the return (Dream of the return) - Pat Metheny and Pedro Aznar (U.S. & Argentina)

I tossed a poem to the sea,
that took with it my questions
and my voice.

Like a slow ship,
it vanished in the foam.

I asked it not to turn back
without seen the open sea
and in dreams telling me
of its visions.

Even if it never returned,
I would know if it arrived...

(Guitar/piano solo)

Travel the whole life
on the blue calm
or foundering in storms.

Little matters the way,
if some port awaits.

I guarded so long for the message,
that I forgot returning to the sea,
and thought the poem lost.

I cried to the heavens
my rancor...

Till I found it, finally,
written in the sand...
like a prayer.

The sea beat in my veins
and set my heart free.
