I went out with Wolf tonight, I had so many worries on my mind |
|
I was feeling lost, feeling confused, feeling afraid--I wanted to hide |
|
But when I got home after work Wolf would not let me stay inside |
|
So I put on my heavy coat and kerchief and closed the door behind us |
|
I followed Wolf across the road, |
|
he took a trail that leads up through the forest |
|
I saw Wolf's shadow moving through the trees ahead of me |
|
--don't go too fast Wolf |
|
And finally we got to the other side |
|
--it was so still, it was so bright and clear |
|
For there stretched before us |
|
like a ballroom glove in the moonlight lay the snowfields |
|
It was a starry night |
|
And the snow had stopped falling |
|
And I feel that I heard someone singing |
|
Fly us to the moon |
|
High above our upturned faces |
|
Booming in the bright |
|
Send some good things down on this earth tonight |
|
Wolf ran out into the glittering fields |
|
--I stood and watched him from the treeline |
|
The starry heavens danced down on the snow |
|
then up again like gateways gathering |
|
Then somehow I was out there with Wolf |
|
--I stared at him--he looked so different |
|
Oh Wolf I can't stop laughing |
|
but I feel somehow that everything is all right |
|
I don't know how many miles we traced across the snow--maybe a thousand |
|
I followed Wolf in peace and I don't even know if we were breathing |
|
And part of me never went home after that night--I think it stayed there |
|
But it is in good care beneath the stars |
|
above the fields of snow that stretch there |
