Came to the cold just to see you
|
Standing there in expectation
|
Pulling coat and blue eyes staring
|
Oh, this vision does me good.
|
|
In the city we don't know yet
|
Across the bridges not yet burned
|
Where the ice won't let us further
|
Wind our way down through the woods.
|
Take me to the attic ladder
|
In the barn with broken floors
|
With your boots of spanish leather
|
And my hat knit out of yarn
|
And my hat knit out of yarn.
|
|
You are in the seat beside me
|
You are in my dreams at night
|
You are in grandmother's wisdom
|
You are in grandfather's charm.
|
|
Show me your trees in the orchard
|
With the music on their branches
|
Keep them from the mouths of creatures
|
Who intend for them no good.
|
Take me out past the wind break
|
Speak the thing you could not utter,
|
When we'll howl and moon will cower
|
At the magic of the word.
|
|
Oh, oh.
|
|
Darling this is when I met you.
|
For the third time not the last
|
Not the last time we are learning
|
Who we are and what we were.
|
|
You are in the seat beside me
|
You are in my dreams at night
|
You are in grandmother's wisdom
|
You are in grandfather's charm.
