lyrics

Hello winter where are you going? With your gray skies silent snowing.
With your sad eyes weeping rainy days, your teardrops turn to crystal flakes & frozen lakes & branches break with every breath you take.

Hello angel where are you hiding? with your long hair & your shy lit eyes
Hello angel do be silent. And I will make for you a place to lie, where you can cry, do shade your eyes.

But all things pass away, that's the one reality
But why are all those people looking at me
And why did I hear somebody say...
"I didn't know he passed away."
"I didn't know he passed away."
"I didn't know he passed away."

I was hiding in the woods, when I spied you by the Apricot
So come on angel look my way, please don't be frightened here by what you see, it's only me, don't run away.

I'm still the little child you knew, from way back when we saw the world from swing set view. And we would run through Shaman's field. And he would run us off but he was cross & I know how he feels.

But all things pass away, that's the one reality
But why are all those people looking at me
And why did I hear somebody say...
"I didn't know he passed away."
"I didn't know he passed away."
"I didn't know he passed away."
