GAZEL TO A NEW LOVE

I come to you crossing abysses
Crazy, flying I come to you

Forgetting what so often ended in grief
Oh so avidly I come to you

Full to overflowing with songs
Tongue-tied I come to you

My mind more jumbled than the bazaar
My heart all topsy-turvy I come to you

To learn everything all over again
To forget what I know, I come to you

Just like one newly come into the world
Stark naked and wailing I come to you

Saying, pluck me up again by the roots
So you’d set me flying, oh love, I come to you
