For a day we were swallows

Our arms were an armor

Branches of willows and miles in the stream

Swam with the minnows

And lay at the altar

Beside Alderidge Creek

The world lost my lover and me

The world lost my lover and me

For a day we were shadows

We danced under flowers

We lived beyond hours

Beside Alderidge Creek

The world lost my lover and me
