about

Similar to "Here," but more reminiscent and somehow more dreamy, "Trust" was written in the late night hours after an argument on the phone. I was still stationed at Pearl Harbor, my partner, Dennis, was living in Seattle. It's hard enough to foster a relationship face to face, and even more difficult to learn and love and grow together while apart. At the core of any relationship is trust. Sometimes you don't need to know everything, sometimes you don't need to understand everything. If your love is rooted in trust, you'll find a way to carry on together.

lyrics

“Trust”
Anton du Preez

Sitting here thinking 'bout how to make things right
It's been awhile since we had our last big fight
Watching waves wash away castles in the sand
Wondering how to be a better man

[Chorus]
But I don't care to find the answer
No I don't need the reason why
'Cause now I know you are my lifeline
And you give me wings to fly
Baby, you're by inspiration
And now I know where I belong
'Cause with you my life carries on

Sleeping less, drinking more, clouded by my fear
I sit awake chasing thoughts as the dawn is drawing near
I cannot comprehend what perfect is to you
But why do I fight, when I know this much is true

[Repeat Chorus]

Carries on like the wind as it rushes
Over great Midwestern plains
You smother me with kisses
As the thunder makes it rain
Though lighting bolts may strike
And try to split our hearts in two
I know that you'll be with me
'Til our life is through

[Repeat Chorus] x2

'Cause with you my life
Baby, you are my life
Denny, with you my life carries on
