Alpenglow

I've been waiting on the proper time
I was hoping that you'd take my night
make it pure and make it still
you will, you were, you will
all mine
you were saying: "When you know, you know."
when we were walking in New Year's first snow.
Hushed white in Alpenglow
you lay, we lay, we lay
all day
I was wondering if you'd be my wife
be the compass in my rugged life
come as quick, and leave until
you will, you will, you will
all mine
I was hoping you would walk with me
down the aisles, your light gathering.
leave your child with legacy
we lay, we lay, we lay
all day
and when she came, I grabbed her
and I dipped her in the lake,
and seldom seen a side of me
beneath my feet the earth did shake
and I can't come down, I'm floating in Spring
and swelling from the sound, and I am driftward found.
