Summer sunsets With the cloud silhouettes Seem so far from this winter sunrise With a misty gray morn And a heart that's been torn Walk away, leave the plow where it lies Will I hold onto you Just to cling to my youth Like the frost does the window sill And though I repine Well, I must leave behind All the thoughts from my fallow field It gave all it could yield Your baltic blue eyes There, my heart had capsized In the depths of your steady gaze I was gasping for air In the grip of your stare All your waters had set me ablaze Now the tide is brought low And my heart has grown cold By the winds of the years that pass Used to hear your sweet voice Now I don't hear a noise Just the rain that's tapping on the glass How we hold to the past Cause the fire's now embers Ever since last December We gave into those fireside tales Now the wind rocks and shakes her As I read from her papers All the lines from a hand I once held I sit and wait for the mail
