Reel You In

Johnny L.


purple sunrise on still water

no more stormy sea

photo albums don’t do justice

can’t quite capture

who we are and what we’ve done


i want to hear your stories

i want to know where you’ve been

i want to share your glories

i want to reel you in


so what if we do not catch much

we still have a lifetime’s worth

of catching up


i want to hear your stories

i want to walk in your skin

i want to share your glories

i want to reel you in


so now on the calm quiet sea

bring on whatever might be

the very worst hurricane spree

can’t uproot a family tree


i want to hear your stories

i want to relive your sin

i want to share your glories

i want to reel you in
