I came to you in the night
With a soft, shallow step of sadness
There you dimmed the light
Of my secret, cradled madness
You brought me in to your table
You moved me from the stables
Where quiet women retreat
To watch the wild horses sleep
And dream of
Your words against my neck
My thoughts upon your breath
The mountains' cool breeze
Your soft, summer ease
Let me lay by your side
'Til the rising morning tides
They move us away
To hills of another day
The April moon came in June
And brought us to the summer country
Where we played the tunes
Of our longing, distant memory
The nights then all were days
As you undressed my silken ways
You wrapped the dusk around my shoulders
And your kiss spoke of growing older
To dream of
The fall returned me to the horses
With my arms ribboned in choices
The women spun them in my hair
As I sang of the love I'll wear
When one day I return
To my love who anon will learn
That this road leads us safely
Back to the fields of the summer country
To dream of
Let me lay by your side
'Til the rising morning tides
They move us away
To hills of another day
