Two By Two

Wake before the sun comes, you're going where you must
 Where fire is born and dust returns to dust
 Light in your eyes boy, dirt beneath your nails
 And in your heart belief that love prevails
 That girl so fair with ankles bare
 You lost her to the wind
 She sleeps below so down you go
 An end, now, to begin
 All you love commit to the ash
 All you worked for gone in a flash
 You can't look forward while you're looking back
 Where come the lyre, boy, that led you here today
 Now it seems she hasn't much to say
 But no need for further talk, let's say you're understood
 You'll have your chance to take her back for good
 Just mind the rules, the devil's tools
 Business first at pleasure's cost
 If you should chance one backward glance
 All will be lost
 All you love commit to the ash
 All you worked for gone in a flash
 You can't look forward while you're looking back
 There'll be no good-byes, boy, that boat won't slow for you
 You tried and failed, it's more than most would do
 So dream a dream of going to by two
 Dream a dream of going two by two
