When you've armor thick as mine
Nobody asks you if you're fine
They think you're safe behind the walls
That you've constructed in your mind
I wish that I could take you
Down the path to hazy river
Where the ground is strewn with insight
And I warm you with my body
You can hear the fog arising
From the mouths of mountain sparrows
You remembered in a past life
Remember the mountain waters
Hold the gift of incarnation
That you pressed into your notebook
As we sat beside the river
You can tremble when I touch you
Have no fear I'm not an angel
I'm the lonely river-mountain
passing through a sacred valley
Unaccustomed to your smile
