Alpenglow
S. Carey
I’ve been waiting on the proper time
I was hoping that you’d take my line
Make it pure and make it still
You will, you will, you will
All mine
You were saying: "When you know, you know."
When we were walking in the year's first snow
Hushed white in Alpenglow
You lay, we lay, we lay
All day
I was wondering if you'd be my wife
Be the compass in my rugged life
Calm this quaking leaf until
You will, you will, you will
All mine
I was hoping you would walk with me
Down the Aisles of Light gallery
Leave a child with legacy
We lay, we lay, we lay
All day
And when she came
I grabbed her head
And dipped her in the lake
And seldom seen, a side of me
Beneath my feet the earthen shake
I can’t calm down
I’m flooding in spring
And swelling from the sound
And I am driftwood, found
