Two By Two

Two by two
In the ark of the ache of it
Two by two
In the ark of the ache
In love for the soul of it
The rise and the roll of it
What will we make of it
Me and you

The rolling sea
The rise and the swell of us
The rolling sea
The rise and swell
Let's go through the hell of love
The taste and the smell of love
We'll live to tell of love
You and me

The gift of grace
How does it summon us
The gift of grace
That pulls us through
It knocks now to summon us
Beats like a drum in us
What's to become of us
Me and you

Bless the storm
The sky it is shaking now
Bless the rain
And the rising sea
The sky it is shaking, love
The day it is breaking, love
It's love we are making, love
You and me

Two by two
In the ark of the ache of it
Two by two
In the ark of the ache
In love for the sake of it
The give and the take of it
What will we make of it
Me and you

"Two by two in the ark of the ache of it" is a line
borrowed whole from Denise Levertov's poem,
The Ache Of Marriage. Denise was a writer and
activist, born in England, who was drawn to America
by the love of a man. She died in Seattle in 1997.
I would like to think this little song would receive
her blessing.
