The Midnight Clear

It came upon the midnight clear

That glorious sign of old

Enraptured secret sign of fear

In brave disguises

Old shoes and thirty feet

The prophet's sign of prophecy

I resign to petty things

Like angels bending on their knees

Do you delight, do you delight, in me

I laughed about it

Come to me now, come to now, and bring

That rapture's moment

I wasn't changed, I wasn't changed, one bit

Though you may doubt it

I don't suppose, I don't suppose, you'd care

To ask about it

The dead of winter takes a grip

And moves around us

All night our labors clap and kiss

Like working mothers

Old wounds and thirty feet

The clock it sounds of properties

I resign to glorious things

Like angels bending on their knees

Do you delight, do you delight, in me

I laughed about it

Come to me now, come to now, and bring

That rapture's moment

I wasn't changed, I wasn't changed, one bit

Though you may doubt it

I don't suppose, I don't suppose, you'd care

To ask about it

I will delight, I will delight, in this

Though you may doubt it

Come to me now, come to me now, my kiss

And ask about it

I will delight, I will delight, in this

Though you may doubt it

Come to me now, come to me now, my kiss
