Cm 
Not with the lips of skin nor yet with the lips of dark snow 
But let the white dove sing 
        Eb                                         Cm 
Of the body of life of the lover whose love is complete 
                                                     Bb  F 
Hold hands out to greet, let not the swan be brought low 


    Cm 
For all that is moving, is moved by her hands 
She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands 
In the building of thoughts in the shifting of sands 

Cm 
Life, life remembering 

      Eb                
Well here you are now, O now you are here 
                        Cm 
Well how has it been so far? 
The hair and the fur 
                      Bb F 
Lemons, frankincenses and myrrh 

    Cm 
For all that is moving is moved by her hands 
She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands 
In the building of thoughts in the shifting of sands 

Cm                       Ab          G            Gm 
Let the cracked crystal raindrop be merged in the sea 
Fsus4 F  Fm Cm    F     Cm   G7 
Silent shining thoughtless free 
     Cm 
But close your eyes to find the golden flower 
And open them to see the sunshine shower 
Where the flowers are free and the fishes ask ah, what can water be 

Cm 
She beareth thought, she beareth visions 
Speaking truth in contradictions 
Dreams of pain, dreams of laughter 
And every action follows after 

   F                                Cm 
O second self, O gate of the soft mystery 
      F                     Cm       
I'll love you if you'll love me, 
    F                                  Cm  
O guide me With the gold of Gabriel's wing 
                                            Bb F  
grant me the tongue that all the earth does sing 

   Cm 
Vibrating light forever one the sun 
The book of life is open to us 
There'll be no secrets left between us
