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
( * )
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
