Nature's Tears

All is quiet
not a whisper of hello
not a hint of farewell

Tonight you are mine
and mine alone
The world fades into oblivion

the stars are put out
and the sun has been sent to bed
only the moon shines

whispering
whispering

the leaves trickle
along the path you walked

the foot prints
still fresh on the snow caked floor
along the path you walked

the sweet embrace
the gentle carress
everything is mine again tonight

in one kiss
I taste eternity
in one smile
I feel immortal

the wind

whispers
whispers

across the path you took

we'll make love
like tommorow doesn't matter
like the sun will continue its peaceful slumber forever

we'll hold each other close
like the morning fresh dew
trickling across the first buds of spring

one step at a time
slowly
but surely
you walked away from me

let the rain rip the cherry blossoms from its tree
let the wind tear the roses from its bed
let the sun bake dry the waterfalls

let the world fall apart
into tiny pieces beyond imagination
and beyond redemption

you weren't mine to keep

but my soul and heart
still whisper your name

across the snow layden path you took away from me...
