I thought that I heard the sound of my name And I looked back down behind me And with hair like the ripened wheat she came Sure as the west wind to find me And just for a moment I wished my life To see our friends all around us And I turned to her But I held my breath In the far Norwegian mountains For there we stood two children of spring As everything seemed to be gleaming Her looking breathless, clean out of my mind And me with my crazy dreaming To think of my friends underneath the same roof In one common destination When all we do is remain aloof Like we have no close relation
And love is my torment And I’ll take when I can But I'll give in the moment When you are my woman And I am your man
And I watched her making her first daisy chain As her nipples hung hard in suggestion And naked, not bitten we drifted the plain In the hazy desert of sensation And we dreamt of all the loves we'd known And we never never thought of the sorrow With forelocks wound on the primrose down In the wood by the empty long barrow Two silver greenflies to flicker the back Dropping lush of the emerald springtime To lust for a moment in love of another As dust on a dragonflies wing.
And love is no torment For we'll give when we can And we'll live in the moment When you are my woman and I am your man
And the black cap sings and the forest rings The nettles tall all around me With shafts of sun and moving things And poems fast and slowly And fantasies of luscious thirst For new lust and fresh waters to seek it Like diamonds set in realities Of skies drawn back in secret But somewhere out there with my heart in her care Her prayers and the breezes that caught them She sits like the earth as I fly to her arms Like the showering yellows of Autumn
And love is no torment For we'll give when we can And we'll live for the moment When she is my woman and I am her man
