By And By I Come

The trees have so many fingers
They reach into my soul
The woods form an ocean
That leaves me space to play
The wind has a million voices
But one I long to hear
The waves play give and take tonight
I surrender to their game

A thousand times goodnight
Come madam, let's away
A thousand times farewell
Away, stay not amazed

The sun awakes to show our deeds
I'm kissed, I'm hit, it burns, it bleeds
Away, stay not amazed
Oh, by and by I come
Come while you still can

My eyes adjust to the sunlight
At night I cannot see
My skin has this lovely smell
The smell of all your kisses
This caring gentle summer breeze
That tosses with my hair
Until the rain begins to fall
And I am wrapped up in grace

A thousand times goodnight
Come madam, let's away
A thousand times farewell
Away, stay not amazed

The sun awaked my eyes to see
I'm loved, caressed, contained and free
Away, stay not amazed
Oh by and by I come
A new night is today
