with feet of clay
and how we have traveled this night
how we have lived a thousand lifetimes in these hours\
while they wispered in desperate quiet
we sang and danced and let our hair free
your coming home to me lover
my arms and my heart ache for you
never ever leave again
with you i sail over this world with such freedom
without you my love
i am mortal with feet of clay
pennys on the pound broker the deal
we shall pay the ferryman to take us
back across the river styx
and away from the dark forboding hills
with you my love
i can defeat the world.

the reference to the river styx is an inside joke about the cherry creek that runs thru denver..foul water that you would not want to touch. my girl will be home soon...and i am so very very happy.
