Christina's Farm

I got kissed by a turtle dove

upon a cold Paris manger

i was waking up to my love,

first moment dawning danger

everything was new

every sock and shoe

my face and your face tenderly renewed

tenderly renewed

i awoke to find a whiteness inside

everything did shine, slyly, from each body

halos from within, diamonds the year in

as we crossed to where the virgin mary

moves over the fields

here and there, she kneels

sighing sweet relief upon the prairie

everything was new

every sock and shoe

my face and your face tenderly renewed

tenderly renewed

as the rich winds blow,

kiss each flamingo,

tussle reckless trains of the wild white horses

and at night the owl streaks the field and howls

she sees there's a kitten, stops wind aghast to hear them shudder

everything was new

every sock and shoe

my face and your face tenderly renewed

tenderly renewed

tenderly renewed

tenderly renewed

tenderly renewed
