On the day that we met 

I awoke

From a total sleep 

You said

Keep your eyes open wide 

And keep my arms open wide 

You brought me courage 

You bring me courage 

To keep my eyes open wide 

And keep my arms open wide 

You brought me courage 


You show

A kind of delight 

Dancing 'round

Like a dragonfly 

Like a coverlet in the summer's air 

In the summer's air 

In the summer's air 


On the day that we met 

I awoke

From a total sleep 

You said

Keep your eyes open wide 

And keep your arms open wide 

You brought me courage 

You bring me courage 

To bring my eyes open wide 

To keep my arms open wide 

You bring me courage 


You wrap your curve of delight 

Round my cold cold neck 

You're a coverlet 

In the summer's air 

In the summer's air 

In the summer's air
