Something a bit different V

The Spring (2000)

How many times could I have looked into your eyes
Leaving that way was so unfair, no compromise
We both thought it’d be okay
That you’d come back to… stay
And now here, your voice has become unclear
My heart aching, full of the darkest fear –
Some day will pass by
Where you won’t cross my mind
What good now?
How do you show love to a ghost?
How do you vow
That they’re the one you loved the most?
Crumpled leaves on wet grass
Trampled from the warriors of your past
Like the waves within a squall –
Their tears crash and… fall
And it’s you who was the hero
To this little girl
It’s you who was the safest place
In my vicious world
That pedestal that you stood upon
Is full of dust now that you’re gone
My faith flew, just like you
And now, oh, what I wouldn’t do…
Now my devotion lies in flowers on your grave
Tears, my confession of my love for everything you gave
We thought the spring would be our time –
We didn’t know that winter meant… goodbye
It’s you that was the hero
To this little girl
Trying to navigate
Without you in my world
This city will always be you
Emerald city green turned blue
Looking to the sky…

We thought the Spring would be our time
I’ll bring you lilacs like your backyard had
Pile them high so their sweet perfume
Lingers like my love for you
