Alone with my thoughts this evening
I walked on the banks of Tyne
I wondered how I could win you
Or if I could make you mine
Or if I could make you mine
The wind it was so insistent With tales of a stormy south
But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree
Came a dryness in my mouth Came a dryness in my mouth
For then without rhyme of reason
And were the two birds were flying
The two birds did rise up to fly
I swear I saw you and I I walked out this morning
I swear I saw you and I
It was like a veil had been removed from before my eyes
For the first time I saw the work of heaven
In the line where the hills had been married to the sky
Was calling out your name and that our love would always last
And all around me every blade of singing grass
And inside every turning leaf
The shape of our future
Is the pattern of an older tree
And out of the confusion
The shape of all our history
Where the river meets the sea
Came things I'd never seen Things I'd never seen
I was brought to my senses
I was blind now that I can see
Said you belong to me Every signpost in nature
It's written in the sky as blue
I know it's true
As blue as your eyes, as blue as your eyes
Like the winter's freeze and summer's thaw
If nature's red in tooth and claw
The wounds she gave me
And we'd be like the moon and sun
Were the wounds that would heal me
Its course across the sky
And when our courtly dance had run
Then together we would lie
And out of the confusion
Where the river meets the sea
Something better would arrive
Something new would arrive I was brought to my senses
I was blind now that I can see
Every signpost in nature
Said you belong to me.
