IN EVERYTHING I COULD SEE YOU

I love the times and bear the times,

and long the deep.

In everything I could see you,

and long the world another way,

and long the darkness pulls in everything.

I could step free of every dream I ever

set my weight upon. I could step free

of every road I leaned my heart upon.

I could step free of every dream in the night—

every dream I could step free of,

every dream I could take care of,

every dream.

I wish I could be you, and see you could

get through, another way I could be you.

I love the times and bear the times.

In everything I could see you.

In everything I could be you.
