Wilderness Lyrics by Peter Oren

Living by the Light

2016

You, woman
Are a wilderness
A high-mountain view
Void of tenderness
Unconquered despite the climb
With shadowed roads on the horizon line
My gardens would be
Ones with flowering trees
But such seeds will not cling to the mountainside
So to you I may go for thin air and big skies

Don't need my flag on your peak
To enjoy the view
To prove to myself I ain't too weak
To see something new

Clear water drawn away
Some snowcaps do not stay
The summer under the sun
Oh how the river runs
She said you look thin
How long has it been?
With a beard on your chin...
Good to see you again
Seems seasons have their reasons
And we must abide
The oceans have their motions
The moon makes the tide
