lyrics

STEP THROUGH the VALLEY

waiting for acknowledgement, stamping out the time,
passing through daisies in cotton.
turning in a languid circle to re-knock upon the door,
believing i'm wanted.

trailing in bafflement, unrecognizing names,
smiling as if i'm in wonder.
buried in your questions, the demands are still the same
and i've no choice -
belief's distorted
to the anchored height of hospitality
laughing with cherished abandon
to play without effort
in the frank duality
of mutual acceptance.

i camp by the table
endowed with a spirit of patience
and i long for understanding
but accept the now present tolerance.
the cups carry warmth
but are blind to the reasons why
i really must be going.
