Long Into the Evening

It's only human to wonder why It's only animal to do it It's only animal to run along the rocks And move along instead of talk It's only human to wonder how And how I wish I could talk to you now And the words tumble out of your mouth Like apples from a wild tree And mine they spy out cautiously Like a creature from its cave Our able bodies and able minds Are animals and things on vines Greening fields and windy mines In our sounds and movements And the waves like lessons Thrashing over me in waves Of self-doubt and illusion Like night's intrusion On the daylight of the strings They gently let me play I've got points of icicles Piercing into me and I miss your warmth And the sound of your voice Like apples tumbling from a wild and windy tree My body aches for you, and shakes for you And sways for you And dances with your little woman body Long into the evening --- Long into the Evening - Great Lake Swimmers
