The male aspect of consciousness Is forever inviting And the spin is all that I’m fighting As it is embodied in opposite contrast And I thought the Grand Canyon was vast But I can see it all when his eyes open up Find I have to take a second look And he blushes and he smiles And I escape all of my trials As he offers me his hand To pull me up, you will be grand And I dust myself down and brush myself off Remember the forever we held aloft And he is tough but he is soft Says that I don’t have to pay the cost Only let it go I had a thing for you, you know You and your hair And the fact that you were so there For me, for them, for all the rest I’m talking about love if you haven’t guessed And how it just grows like the grass And I know there were things you never asked In the silence still between us both Like the gusts of wind wrap the coast Is the feel of you near to me There were days I was set free To run afresh into open fields The power of the earth that wields Our love like it was candlelight I think you are a bit of alright And if you are to chance the storm Then I would like to keep you warm In the days we rest side by side Knowing what it is to be alive With somebody there for you There’s a journey somewhere for us two To take with two hands pulled in close I guess it was you that my love chose To shine afresh in the garden Of peace we know when we discard them Only for to know again Do you think that you could be my friend? And we could run like the wolves Be the thread that longing pulls To undo that unseemly knot I hope you know exactly what I mean when I say to you That I love everything through and through And all the midnight can’t take away The sunshine in the light of day And weather rolls and thunder rumbles But my castle never crumbles Only stands to be a fort And there is nothing to report But meaningful and the dawn I left with a sigh but I’m not gone Only holding onto the deep And the promise that you keep To be the steady, lonesome star Oh, the wonder of what you are!
