Kate of Hoboken

Do you know
There’s no place I’d rather go
Than to your doorstep

It’d be divine
My blue eyes locked with yours
Our feet would four-step

Can it be
Fate has intervened
Brought you near me

Can’t believe
You’re so close and yet
My heart is steps, back.

Gave you all
All my loving
All my telling
All my yelling

Gave you all
All my heart
In gold cupped hands
All my swelling

I do miss
Your soothing arms
Which held me

Just a kiss
And another and another
Do we dare?

Gave you all
All my loving
All my telling
All my yelling

At your door
About to knock
I turn and run

Without care
I bump into a man
And am stunned

It is you
You take me in your arms
We laugh and four-step

Hand in hand
We walk to your red door
And go in

I give you all
All my loving
All my telling
All my yelling

I give you all
All my heart
In gold cupped hands
All my swelling
