Be That As It May

Let the moonlight pour into the room,
Hushed voices carry ’cross the pond
I may hear the knock
On the door behind me, locked
Where inside I am a child still hard at play
Be that as it may
Let the boat set sail across the page,
Weather the storms, find a peaceful shore
I’ll live with the taps
On the window at my back,
The friends I’ve lost, and words I didn’t say
Be that as it may
And through thick walls built out of mist
I see the girl I never kissed
Every open door I ever missed
And the many times I lost my way
Be that as it may
Let the ink flow like a river’s course,
Through the vale of death to a serene sea
Gentle as a prayer,
Ferocious as a dare
To run the race on hobbled feet of clay
Be that as it may
Be that as it may
Be that as it may
Be that as it may
