What does it mean to you?

What does it mean to you?
Tell me, I want to know
With every fibre of my being
Trace the footprints in the snow
What does it mean to you?

The dogs howl in the moonlight
The season ends in a glow
Faint grows the starlight
Beneath the cold pines that blow
What does it mean to you?

You know I've been searching all of my life
Hearing this calling out in the woods
Its been in fits and starts and in strife
In the telling the bad from the good
The call of the truth is unending
Though sometimes low down in the blood
Tell me, my love
What does it mean to you?

What does it mean to you
In the pell mell, in the market
Where the people stir?
Only the frozen lamplight
Where the cheshire cats purr
Only in the rugged mountain
Where the wild cat growls on the path
Tell me, my love, don't laugh
What does it mean to you?
