Sometimes a whisper hits you louder than a thunderclap
When he first says I love you softly in your ear
Everything that happens, happens here
And there’s no world outside his quiet embrace.
...
If you love someone
Then you trust him with your life
When you look into his eyes
‘Cos if he lets you fall

In the springtime, when the world was new,
We sat beneath the tree and heard it sing
And in the morning drank the dew
From its upturned petals,
...
I climbed up to the roof of the world
Breathing hard and banging my toes
On the rocks and stones of the winding path;
Hard, hard, hard was the climb to the summit
...
Found you sitting there at the edge of the world
Looking out into that dark and lonely space
Of broken hearts and shattered dreams
Tried to look into your eyes
...
Heartwings beating on a slender thread
Brushing softly on my lover’s head
As he lies beside me dreaming
Of the way he leaves me feeling
...
Push back the leaves,
bend the bough round,
make the trees dance
to that heavenly sound.
...
You were the real of me, the Only One.
Without you, I was just I -
an imaginary, useless thing.
With you, I was real,

Strange blossom lies atop the cliff at Marsden Bay,
amidst the windblown grass and grey-faced, ashen rocks:
bright flowers tied with pretty bows adorn the heath,
their petals strewn like gems along the coastal way.
...
Ah the daffodils, yellow-blasting the white stillness
of coldflakes in the morning, gold trumpets shaking
crunchy crystals from shivering lilybuds.
