Can I come, striding in gently
Into your culver house?
I will not flutter the dovecote
Not stir the cosy nest.
I’ll be still by your side
Learning your rune and rhyme
Steps, strides an’ styles
Then, we’ll dance together
Like the swiftest ballet dancers
In a breathtaking display of beauty
An’ drift across the vale an’ plain
I’ll guide you through
The fright of the game
Away from scoffs and jeers of the wind
Gently grooming and stroking
Your flurry feather.
Then, we’ll dance again
It’s going to be a lifelong dance.

« return.
