In This World

Peacefully he drapes me in his coat 
It’s careless poetry that I never wrote 
And my skin retreats like autumn leaves from the snow
Is there someone in this world that I care to know?

A thousand years of love crafted his bones 
I hear it in his voice when we are alone 
And should he ask for someone to follow 
Is there somewhere in this world that I wouldn’t go?
