A song about the heady early days of a new relationship.
Simple songs of acoustic guitar and voice.
Lyrics
Burnett Wood
Take me down
Through the snow
Past the lamp post
Down the hill
To the water
Where the dogs play in the twilight
We know it?s cold
But don?t feel a thing
We?re beginning
Our early days
Fascinate me
With lighted matches
Burning on the glass-top table
Tried to charm you with scattered candy
And with jokes fashioned as fable
We fight the tide
And learn brand new words
Trying to lengthen
This early day
When every moment
Was revelation
Every glance brought a new desire
The whispered promise
Of furtive kisses
And furtive hands
The thousand sighs
You like my hair
Like my boots
The smell of soap when I come to see you
I drink your tea
Touch your skin
Fall asleep with your warmth and Vindu
Wake in the dark
Put down these words
Celebrating
These early days
