Within You Without Me


from the ABC set More

I watch you running through the forest
Shaking leaves and swaying boughs.
I watch you ripple through the long grass
Sweet love's passion's so arouse.

I hear you calling in the wild wind.
I run laughing as it blows.
I hear you murmur by the river
As to the endless sea it flows

I smell you growing in the Spring air.
It makes me dizzy, makes me glad
I smell your fragrance in the Summer
Thankful for all the love I've had.

I taste you in the woodland berries
On bushes scattered through the land
I taste your blessings and your favour
And dream we wander hand in hand.

I sense you watching ever O'er me
I sense you talking with the trees
I sense you dancing in the moonlight
I sense you playing in the breeze

I see you sparkle in the sunlight.
I feel your passion in the sea.
I hear you singing in the bird song
I wonder what you make of me.
