All Day
All day I kept you on my mind
Like a map
That only knows the way to love again
All day my compass kept pointing to your heart
The true pole
Of every star of goodwill, of every hope of happiness
All day I girded tackle, rope and gears to climb
The Everest of your trust
Each firm foot hold inspiring confidence the summit will come
All day i lit fires to warm the trembling dark
And felt a spark
Inflaming our hearts, and burning our nakedness above the world.
