I saw my own reflection
I caught it in the window
I could see the darkness in my heart
I saw all the signs of my undoing
They have been there from the start
The darkness I've created
It still has its work to do
Though my knotted cord is untying
I see the headed and the holy
They are sitting there on high
So secure with everything I am buying
With all that we are given
We are just one woman and one man
We speak of 'union'
This union of this woman and this man
I can feel it
My grip is surely slipping
I think I've lost my home
Yes, I think I've lost all I know
I have no credit with you anymore
Your fingers long for rings of gold
Is that understanding or anger that I see
Held so resolutely in your glance
And all the while the distance
It grows between you and me
Please help me understand
With all that we are given
We are just one woman and one man
We speak of 'union'
This union of this woman and this man
Upon my request
You take me in
Folded in your tenderness
I have no certainty
I am floating away
Nothing to rely on
I am holding still
Yet for a moment
What a moment is this
For this moment
We are embraced in a kiss
Can you hear the distant thunder
Sounding off a billion unshaped souls
All begging for creature comforts
For the feeling of what we feel
When each other we hold
With all that we are given
We are just one woman and one man
We speak of 'union'
This union of this woman and this man
