It Takes Two

[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 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 take 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
It's no fun
But what needs to be done
You can do
When there's two of you
If I tear
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 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
