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
