It's time now to leave Quiet the mind of it's chatter Still the riot in your heart Disarm the tongue of it's dagger Tell your arms not to worry so And listen..... Step into it Lift your face into the strong wind Least we miss it's meaning Such cold beauty exists here Do you see it? Like the landscape Frozen & waiting to be born Let me bundle you in clothing And soft things Because I love you I will not send you out into the night With teeth marks & pride I have stripped you of We will prepare each other We will make up our own ceremony I will draw a compass on your belly Tell me that its OK Before you turn me loose Into the endless sky Let me kiss you & then send you on your way For Winters can be long And I will need a friend
