I know a country Wild canyons and seas Red roots wave in the fissures So wild the space betwen my love and me Running in my midnight feet River through every gateway Where you runs into me I'm going hunting My heart like a battle rings To you out in the country Where true birds find their wings Where we might tear the veil from beauty And see her dancing down the street Where I might cry that I was drowning And you might laugh and drink the sea Out in the jungles What if you should be the beast? Sometimes love is a toothache To heal in a howl Out along the warring sea Breathing breaths of bravery As love roars into me Til we might tear the veil from beauty And see her dancing down the street Til I might cry that I was drowning And you might laugh and drink the sea And I might cry that I was dying and you might whisper Wait for me
