Gazelle

My love is like a gazelle
With a long leap
Lept himself across the sea
My love, though he loved me well
Didn’t need me
Needed cobblestone and green
A year ago today
I started planting a garden
Didn’t know if it would survive
The earth was cold and grey
And I had no one to guard it
If I fell asleep would it die?
I plummeted first into darkness
Expecting a burgeoning
Found the ground but never found a harness
And I slept without cushioning
My love makes my ocean swell
Like a moonbeam
I can feel him even though he’s at sea
My love doesn’t like to dwell
Upon loving me
Likes to make me watch him bleed
Haven’t we learned anything
I had to ask myself
Grass is always green if it is treated
Well
Well
Well
Well
Well
Well
Well
Well
Well
Without winter
Three is no spring
Without winter
There is no spring
Without winter
There is no spring
Without winter
There is no spring
My love is like a gazelle
My love is like a gazelle
My love
Love
Love
Love
He didn’t need me
He didn’t need me
