I could teach your tongue to taste  She whispered, she, who did not show  Naked ran her feet in vain  Weakness racked her bones, it knew  Feet like those will not remain  Wasted was her breath upon him  Laughs and cries to raise his faith  So ardent was the trembling voice  Tried not to let his hands away  Like light leaves the pleas went down  As light leaves the bile will not drown  He raised his hands, subdued the shivering  And ran his tongue across the palms  He felt the life along the fingers  And let its breath refill his lungs  The hands were love and they were joy  Like fruit wine they brought delight  But rest won't breathe in empty hands  And empty they were folded tight  Like leaves the pleas went down  As light leaves the bile will not drown  (Words: Sahlin Music: Rellmark)
