Full lyrics:

try and get some rest
i'll do the rest
think to what the roses find
with the arms of passion
this is how we fashion
war's worried mind
in the hour I loved you
like a dream it was true
in the base of my pine

wilderness, vast abyss, will we ever kiss?

in her mother's fortress
she was brushing horses
manes and tails flicking flies
naked as the window
baby if it's real,
so no need to apologize

wilderness, vast abyss, will we ever kiss?

love is on her shoulder, love is on the boulder
in the eyes, in the eye
love never leaves, love is the leaves
in the sky in the sky
