Ah, what came first,
Love given, or love received?
Did you need to touch something real
Before you actually believed?
Matters not, these trivial things
Only that you do now feel
The joy of a thousand lifetimes
That you cannot conceal
Give in to the gentle flow
That brings you near to me
Suffer not thoughts of loss
But of what will come to be

Tend to this youthful garden
Ripening in Spring eternal
Revel in all of thy dreams
Bespeaking of breath nocturnal
Feel the savage wind
And the hope in the rain
Come, fall into loving arms
Never think of hurt again
Travel along the easy path
That brings you near to me
Hallow every word I speak
By being so dear to me
