Arab Proverb
Written by Tommy Leonard 1997 (more info)

When first I met my true-love I didn't understand.
The treasure that was ours to share I couldn't comprehend.
I was a fool and so she left me.

The next time that I met my love I didn't understand.
The treasure that was ours to share I'd begun to comprehend.
I was a child and so she taught me.

The third time that I met my love I knew everything under the skies.
I held the treasure in my hands but didn't realise.
I was asleep and so she woke me.

The last time that I met my love I understood at last.
The treasure that was ours to share was future, present, past.
She loves me and I follow her.
I love her and she follows me.

She was a fool and so I left her.
She was a child and so I taught her.
She was asleep and so I woke her.
She loves me and I love her.
Now we are lovers.
