BAKER'S 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 openhearted
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
BAKER'S 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,
Lets' hope the changes last
Beyond woods,
Beyond witches and slippers and hoods,
Just the two of us-
Beyond lies,
Safe at home with out 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
