How long i wrote of loving you
how long i longed to love you.
i knew you were kissing me but could
only keepy faith, keep faith until
i stopped believing.
and we must not say too much,
we must not speak too long or
else we will jinx it do not
step on the crack or i cannot
get you back
oh, no, take me to your temple
every old day your mercies
are brand new
and you are my gentle
father and devoted mother
giving birth to me
