Seasons

The Autumn glow that burns the sky Vermillion clouds - that shimmer by Bright orange frames the fading blue As saffron sun bids sweet adieu The daylight lost in damp November eve The first freeze of the winter's bite Icy patterns crisp in morning light The fresh bright haze of steaming breath The blanket snow gives sound its death An echo lost in cold December wind And the colours fade to grey and white With the moments lost as the clock ticks by And the shadows rise when the night crawls in And the seasons come and the seasons go again Where did it go? Why did it pass? The hands of time are spinning fast Where did it go? Will it come back? Hold on to hope, hold on to hope Hold on to hope, hold on to hope A wisp of warmth brings winter's doom The bud foretells a flower's bloom Emerging green supplants the grey As birdsong grows in volume there's a life reborn in springtime's warm embrace And the colours change from grey and white With the moments gained as the clock ticks by And the shadows fall when the day breaks in And the seasons come and the seasons go And the colours change from grey and white With the moments gained as the clock ticks by And the shadows fall when the day breaks in And the seasons come and the seasons go again
