Fait Accompli
My eyes awaken to the waking hour
As the sun lifts and the stars fade in the gray
The steady rumble from a growing flower
Push back the silence and the mist will burn away
Just say the word and I'll be home
Just say the word and I'll come home
Back to the final days of Rome
No need to watch it fall alone
The boats untethered and adrift at sea
A fait accompli, what will be will be
This stormy weather and the winds prevail
To a second guess, should I have sailed
Float away
Don't disappear
Don't fade away
