Birds Of Winter

The world's a little darker now
Close the curtains, take a bow
Sprout your wings and fly away
I'll see you again on summer day
In my mind, I see the colored sky
The one that you so happily fly
A piece of me you take away
I'll see you on a better day

Your absence echoes through the halls
My ears can still hear your calls
Here I stand in snow and rain
Knowing nothing will ever be the same
I remember the way you'd sing
When the warm world lay sleeping
Your wings would flutter to take flight
My little bird, beacon of light

In winter's blue and snow's white
In the violet of twilight
The world's a darker shade of grey
You've flown so far away

The sun's a little dimmer now
I still see reflections of your crown
Spread your feathers, and take flight
I'll meet you again in the morning light
In my thoughts, I see the endless sea
The one that takes you away from me
A part of me you'll always hold
Even though warmth begins to fade to cold

In winter's blue and snow's white
In the violet of twilight
The world's a darker shade of grey
You've flown so far away

In spring and summer, when autumn's near
I hold the winter still so dear
She flies away, my heart is gone
I'll still sing a piece of her song

In winter's blue and snow's white
In the violet of twilight
The world's a darker shade of grey
You've flown so far away

But in my heart, you'll always stay
Like a flame that never fades
Though seasons change in time's cruel play
My love for you is frozen in winter (Birds of winter)
