I was longing to be near

The changing sea With repetitious praise And symphonic reverie


Where I could lose you to a word


Eternal and reserved Where I could meld into your side Until the mystery's satisfied

I thought of all we loved And what love wanted of our lives And through a stand of ancient pine We kissed each other's wives Forever we will spy, forever we will hide


Inside the heart of every child Plucked from the bitter vine Life's seemingly sublime And what more is a man expected to give When he's pleasuring the divine?
