This New Day, Raison D'etre
Let me show you
Through the soft and gentle folds
Of fabric stitched with a fine silk threading
My raison d'etre
See there in the yellows of sun
And the pinks of this special moon
A new season
And reason to bloom
I have had days too long
And nights that fought the dawn to come
I have been so tired
From lonesome walks that I placed first foot in surely
But there are heavenly eyes that have brightened to see my arrival
And my eyes would shine to see yours
Of possessions
I need none but this
A loving glove for my hand that feels good in yours
To cover past fortunes told
But covered only a little while
until the comfort found in our grasp
Is as easy and familiar
As you once thought it used to be
Through the soft and gentle folds
Of fabric stitched with a fine silk threading
My raison d'etre
See there in the yellows of sun
And the pinks of this special moon
A new season
And reason to bloom
I have had days too long
And nights that fought the dawn to come
I have been so tired
From lonesome walks that I placed first foot in surely
But there are heavenly eyes that have brightened to see my arrival
And my eyes would shine to see yours
Of possessions
I need none but this
A loving glove for my hand that feels good in yours
To cover past fortunes told
But covered only a little while
until the comfort found in our grasp
Is as easy and familiar
As you once thought it used to be
