There once was a lad, eyes blue as the sea
That built up a home in the trees with me.
He reached for the boughs; he parted the leaves
And crafted a den for the wild in me.
He learned to fear not the dark of the moon
Knowing lover's call was a howling croon.
He minds not the moments spent on knees in the mud
Coaxing calm the wild that churns in my blood
There's a lad I call home when the running's all done
He picks up my pieces to await morning sun.
