WITH YOU

 

He wove dreams with me and around me

I will take you to the river 

And make you a raft

You can lie there and float 

With the current

I'll lift you up by a rope to our own tree house

we will watch the blue moon together 

and hear the owl hoot

I will send you love letters on lotus leaves 

down the river

I will weave you flower garlands made of buttercups

There are open spaces in the forest 

where the bamboo bloomed and died

We will go to the stream where the wild animals drink. 

I will show you how the cheetah's eyes 

shine in the dark jungle

I will show you how to make baskets 

out of palm leaves

And I will make love to you 

among the flowers in the hillside 

where the birds sing
