[Instrumental]


[Verse 1]

Cupped hands spell of ties unbroken

Clasped on my locus a wistful token

Sift thru the loriel hour

Alight, delicately wrought away

The images pinned upon scrolls of thought

Am I to warm? Am I to bleed?

Morrow prithy fair you to me bring

A royal purple, a burning red

A green grown wild of stem and blade

As clever as snakes, as innocent as doves

Painted in you, my twin mother child love


[Instrumental]


[Verse 2]

Hidden in the stealthiest grasses unseen

Time trickers we aside this upturned tree

A leafy wreath for your petalled head

A grassy crown for me

As nakеd we lay newly cleavеd


[Instrumental]


[Verse 3]

Sewn at the outer stitched place of our grace

A root reaching pliant thru our base

Pulled taut form of white smiling palm

Turned upwards and thin so to walk well upon

All deeper hues on the insides we knew

Pulsing wave ocean vein

Skin covered earth and dew


[Bridge]

All silvered smooth in gloriole's imbue

Thimble and thread

Of my true lovers loom


[Instrumental]


[Verse 4]

Sun setting amber far over the sky

And evening has waxed us all in laurea

Arranging flowers: heart and star meshed

A petal fall all in your hair on your breast

A garlanding mantle, trestle and stave

Loping tacitly our caroly glade

Of royal purple, of burning red

Of green grown wildly wherever we bed

As clever as snakes, as innocent as doves

Cradled in you, my twin mother child love


[Instrumental]
