And All Shall Fade

The Flowers of Spring
The World and all the Sorrows
At the heart of everything

But still it stays
The butterfly sings
And opens purple summer
With a flutter of its wings

The earth will wave with corn
The grey-fly choir will mourn
And mares will neigh
With Stallions that they mate
Foals they've born

And all shall know the wonder of purple summer.....

And yet I wait
The swallow brings
A song too hard to follow
That no one else can sing

The fences sway
The porches swing
The clouds begin to thunder
Crickets wander murmuring

The earth will wave with corn
The grey-fly choir will mourn
And mares with neigh
With stallions that they mate
Foals they've born

And all shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of purple summer.

And All shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of purple summer.

All shall know the wonder of purple summer.....


It's been a hard summer it seems. To all those who have loved and lost, may gentler times lie ahead. To those now gone, you are not nor shall ever be forgotten.

So it goes.


Song: Spring Awakening
