Stay near to me and I'll stay near to you — As near as you are dear to me will do, Near as the rainbow to the rain, The west wind to the windowpane, As fire to the hearth, as dawn to dew.
Stay true to me and I'll stay true to you — As true as you are new to me will do, New as the rainbow in the spray, Utterly new in every way, New in the way that what you say is true.
Stay near to me, stay true to me. I'll stay As near, as true to you as heart could pray. Heart never hoped that one might be Half of the things you are to me — The dawn, the fire, the rainbow and the day
Nothing on two legs weighs much, or can. An elephant, a donkey, even a cookstove-- those legs, a person could stand on. Two legs pitch you forward. Two legs tire. They look for another two lets to be with, to move one set forward to music while letting the other move back. They want to carve into a tree trunk: 2gether 4ever. Nothing on two legs can bark, can whinny or chuff. Tonight, though, everything’s different. Tonight I want wheels.
