T's a winter's night and all around a bitter wind is howling. Collar's up, but my mood is down, I've whiskey enough for drowning. Cursing my luck and cursing some more the name behind my feelings as I walk the grounds memory's found a different colour to your eyes.
T'was a summer's day and swallows swooped on sunbeams and lovers laughing. My spirits were high, but my heart suddenly sank like stone cos you said you were leaving. I begged and swore, prayed and begged, but you gave me not a reason. Hopeless the tears my living fears. You left swifter than a bird in the sky.
T'is been brittle years and lonely roads my weary feet have been travelling. Legs keep me up, but my soul hangs low, yet I've never stopped my searching. You flew with my heart and my heart's stayed with you. Never will it come returning. Tramping these roads has worn out my soul wishing your memory would fade and die.
