The Threshold

when a man is a dweller of the threshold she's all he lives for,
wrap your words around her soldier, wrap your words around her

~

standing at the door waiting by the gates
endless night of no hope all he lives for is she,
wrap your words around her,
her man her soldier
all she cares for all she lives for

~

write your songs of sweet memories
write her songs and poems in rhyme
love and hope will keep you alive
her touch her ring,
for you only
her man
living only for you

~

and when he climbs the silver spiral stairway
swirl flow your dreams freely wind and whirl
run your dreams around,
believe in her believe in her her man,
run your songs in joyful circles
your ring
around your man

~

when a man roams the threshold,
treads the razor edge edge of madness,
when a man wanders the borders
walks only in faith,
wrap your love around her soldier
wrap your love around her

~

when a man must face death's fire
a man is living on the threshold
she's all he lives for,
march on soldier march on
walking the borders past pain endure,
his only comfort thoughts of you hold on,
wrap her love around you soldier be
strong and courageous her love
always is around you

~

wrap your love tightly tightly around him
step the tightrope stepping lightly
your prayers of love round around,
keep him safe lord keep him safe
defend him protect him comfort him,
keep believing
love love him his darling only love
