Lyrics Time for My Returning - Eric Andersen

Time for My Returning

The night is a time for my returnin'
My lover’s heart beats tunes for to tell
I nuzzle up 'cause brightful to listen
To know again the things I know so well
Well, the day was a day of another highway
A-walkin' unknown streets and strangers' ways
The evenin' is the time for my returnin'
To the bed where my body longs to lay
Her eyes will lead me off a lonesome trail
Her hands cool my body hot and weary
She can harbor me before tomorrow’s journey
When I face again the storms of another sea
And her skin will be as moist as softness soil
Smellin' warm as the rain fern in the spring
And her breathin' is a waterfall plummet
To make the darkness swim and my body sing
Then love leaps set the night a-flamin'
It’ll make the rushin' rivers for to run
It’ll take me to the depth of the deepest ocean
To the place I know every man comes from
