He tunes the bonds which hang on the mirror of the sea Revealing deep meanings in the vaguest air She likes to speak of him to me When her day catches fire And loses flair
She tells me of the good things he makes her feel When he tunes the bonds up and down Yet she wonders what is real And if that mirror Makes her world go round
Perfect joy she says he has shown her now Seems that her cup runneth over Yet as serenity takes a bow Those deep meanings Fail to hold her
She likes to speak of him to me on her cloudy days I look through her eyes and see the truth She tunes the bonds in her own way And when her day catches fire He becomes her excuse
