I Was Brought To My Senses

Alone with my thoughts this eveningI walked on the banks of TyneI wondered how I could win youOr if I could make you mineOr if I could make you mineThe wind it was so insistentWith tales of a stormy southBut when I spied two birds in a sycamore treeCame a dryness in my mouthCame a dryness in my mouthFor then without rhyme of reasonThe two birds did rise up to flyAnd where the two birds were flyingI swear I saw you and II swear I saw you and II walked out this morningIt was like a veil had been removed from before my eyesFor the first time I saw the work of heavenIn the line where the hills had been married to the skyAnd all around me every blade of singing grassWas calling out your name and that our love would always lastAnd inside every turning leafIs the pattern of an older treeThe shape of our futureThe shape of all our historyAnd out of the confusionWhere the river meets the seaCame things I'd never seenThings I'd never seenI was brought to my sensesI was blind now that I can seeEvery signpost in natureSaid you belong to meI know it's trueIt's written in the sky as blueAs blue as your eyes, as blue as your eyesIf nature's red in tooth and clawLike the winter's freeze and summer's thawThe wounds she gave meWere the wounds that would heal meAnd we'd be like the moon and sunAnd when our courtly dance had runIts course across the skyThen together we would lieAnd out of the confusionWhere the river meets the seaSomething new would arriveSomething better would arriveI was brought to my sensesI was blind now that I can seeEvery signpost in natureSaid you belong to me
