And when the winter comes she's far away,
the silent forest of her soul she waits.
I feel her spirit whisper through the trees,
"I am alone, I am alone"
And in this garden where we'd search the sun,
to give us answers to the mysteries of the human soul.
I sit alone now 'neath the clouds of gray,
they block the sun, I am alone, I am alone.
I’ve given you laughter, I’ve given you sorrow,
I’ve given you freedom then stood in your way.
Though you're here with me now you won't be tomorrow, because there's no way to give you everything.
(Chorus)
But I want it to be that way,
I want it to be that way,
Every night and every day
I wanted it to be that way.
I’ve held you in shadows,
walked with you in rain storms,
I’ve kissed you all moon soaked and drifting away.
We sat in your garden and cried
with the sunset as the promise of morning
was beginning to fade.
A true hidden treasure of a song writer. This gent has been capturing songs in demo form on old tape recorders since the 80s. . . and he's still capturing his magic sounds in his secret basement. Damien Youth
supported by 6 fans who also own “Winter Comes Be That Way”
Such a joy to see live at Pappy & Harriet's and here's to your 70th - may the next trip around the sun bring you the joy you have brought us
