- It Takes Two [ Contents

-
- Wife: You've changed. You're daring.
- You're different in the woods.
- More sure. More sharing.
- You're getting us through the woods.
- If you could see--
- You're not the man who started,
- And much more open-hearted
- Than I knew you to be.
- Baker: It takes two.
- I thought one was enough,
- It's not true:
- It takes two of us.
- You came through
- When the journey was rough.
- It took you.
- It took two of us.
- It takes care,
- It takes patience and fear and despair
- To change.
- Though you swear to change,
- Who can tell if you do?
- It takes two.
- Wife: You've changed.
- You're thriving.
- There's something about the woods.
- Not just surviving,
- You're blossoming in the woods.
- At home I'd fear
- We'd stay the same forever.
- And then out here
- You're passionate, charming, considerate, clever--
- Baker: It takes one
- To begin, but then once you've begun,
- It takes two of you.
- It's no fun,
- But what needs to be done
- You can do
- When there's two of you.
- If I dare,
- It's because I'm becoming aware of us
- As a pair of us,
- Each accepting a share
- Of what's there.
- Both: We've changed.
- We're strangers.
- I'm meeting you in the woods.
- Who minds
- What dangers?
- I know we'll get past the woods.
- And once we're past,
- Let's hope the changes last
- Beyond woods,
- Beyond witches and slippers and hoods,
- Just the two of us--
- Beyond lies,
- Safe at home with our beautiful prize,
- Just the few of us.
- It takes trust.
- It takes just a bit more and we're done.
- We want four, we had none. We've got three.
- We need one.
- It takes two.
