Walk With You

I want to walk with you holding hands
Balancing steps on rusty railway tracks
That have us lost in far away
I want to walk with you
In silence in Peace
Through forests of sand
And shore and steady ocean rhyme

I want to walk with you my darling
I want to walk with you my darling
I want to walk with you the longest way home

I want to walk with you
In the noise of city streets
And traffic and grey
And hold you close and whisper softly
Of colour
I want to walk with you
On star lit nights lost to the mystery
To the wonder coming to know
Coming to know my Love

I want to walk with you my darling
I want to walk with you my darling
I want to walk with you the longest way home

I want to walk with you in raging rain
And drink it in with open mouths
And open hands and let it wet our thirsty places

I want to walk with you
Through newness through familiar
Through autumn through Rome
Through letting go and letting in
Through screams and song and jagged edges
Through velvet safe and beauty brave
As our bodies slow as our bones grow old
Our fire softens and we come to wise

I want to walk with you my darling
I want to walk with you my darling
The longest way home
