  1. Lion’s Mane -:-- / -:--

My love comes in with a lion’s mane
My love goes out with a lamb’s cry
No sooner do I learn his name
Does he return it as a lie
And so I see him as a bird
And then I seem him try to fly

I beg my love, my love
I beg you to decide what you will be
To curl around a river rock
Or skim the surface of the sea
I need to know how you will move
So you won’t move too far from me

My love comes in with the owl’s advice
My love goes out where the wolf lies
My love comes in with the bulldog’s dice
And stares me down with the snake’s eyes
I know him well
And well I know his voice
Behind each new disguise

I give my love, my love
I give you silver lake and forest trees
For horse’s hooves or blessed wings
Or sharpened claws or dirty knees
And all I ask you in return
Is you decide what you will be
I need to know how you will move
So you won’t move too far from me
