Prepare you sweet flowers, for winter advances
|
And drink well the sunlight that touches your form.
|
Draw strength from the earth and repay her with beauty,
|
For the dark days are comin', oh, and they'll do you harm.
|
|
When the chill eastern winds replace summer breezes,
|
And the long summer days are remembered no more,
|
Then you'll know how it feels when a woman's love changes,
|
When at last she has told you she loves you no more.
|
|
I saw her today, when she walked with her new love,
|
In all the fine places that we'd walked before.
|
They kissed by the rocks where she told me she loved me,
|
And soon she'll be using those same words once more.
|
|
There's none that could blame me for wanting her beauty,
|
But it lies like a snowflake in the hands of a child.
|
When the warmth of my love tried to reach out and hold her,
|
It's then she was gone, to prove she's still wild.
