    Story Behind the Song
    Sara wrote the lyrics as a poem after walking out in a gray, misty evening. In an unplanned collaboration, Carl found the lyrics lying on the kitchen table and set them to music.

    Lyrics
    I walked tonight in mist, my love,
    So perfectly alone.
    And as I passed, enfolded there,
    My thoughts were all my own.

    I moved tonight through mist, my love,
    The sky reached down for me --
    The softest touch upon my hand --
    And I could scarcely see.

    I opened wide to mist, my love;
    I let it love me well.
    I felt its touch upon my heart
    Too many times to tell.

    I walked abroad in mist, my love;
    I pondered who I'd be
    Without the anchor of your gaze
    Across the room from me.

    I wandered in the mist, my love,
    And rain began to fall.
    If rain, or tears, upon my cheek,
    I could not tell at all.

    I only knew in mist, my love,
    I was myself entire.
    To you, my love, I reach across
    In wild and sweet desire.

    Emerging from the dark, my love,
    At home I take my place.
    To tell me who I am, I keep
    The mist upon my face.

    I walked tonight in mist, my love,
    So perfectly alone.
    And as I passed, enfolded there,
    My thoughts were all my own.
