If Not For You I...


"...would have left this behind

I wouldn't be by this river
or waiting for this long off spring

By my own hand I would have by night
put this upon an alter to burn
or left
to float the red current of longing
to the sea

But not for I to choose is it?
Not after all this time and
I know Your voice too well to turn
or away look to another

So at this bank
I ask once more

bring this spring
you so long ago
painted beneath my winter..."
