The Spring

Once the streets were paved with gold

Precious world oh to behold

From the dusty ground

You evoked the sound

'Caused flowers too unfold

When the summers turned to fall

You were with us through it all

A ring upon the bell

That echoed through the shell of

Winter's call

Now that you're away

I feel you every day

Some days were hard to win

We never knew what fate would spin

You filled my cup with grace

And held a steady face

When the ice grew thin

When the branches began to crack

We knew there was no looking back

Soon all our hopes and dreams

Were tearing at the seams

Light fading into black

You told us to let go

The current pulls below

Like sunlight on the snow

Into the silent river you will flow

And we'll find you in the water

I know

There was a time when I never

Thought that you would leave my side

And through the shadows

You would find the way

And even though you held on tight

I can see your fading light

Is stronger now

That you've gone away

Tangled roots and history

Shadows deep within' the tree

Shackles from the past

Though broken way at last now

Found peace eternally

Azrael unfolds her wings

For you a gateway to the spring

Once a fearful sound

That bubbles from the ground now

Taught us words to sing

You told us to let go

The current pulls below

Like sunlight on the snow

Into the silent river

You will flow

You told us to let go

The current pulls below

Like sunlight on the snow

Into the silent river

You will flow

And we'll find you in the water

I know
