Lyrics
9. IN EVERY ROSE©
Purling rain on window panes, dusk enfolds the glass and frames.
Drops form streams of broken dreams flowing out to sea.
Look behind and you will find no master key.
Persephone won’t set him free. Tears, wash this grief from me.
After these shadows, in golden meadows, there will be rainbows.
After dying, mystifying, like a baby, clarifying,
watch the day, it rolls away behind the orange trees.
After knowledge finding solace in these blossomed trees,
love was learned and loved and lost. Blooms, take this pain from me.
After these shadows, in golden meadows, there will be rainbows.
After such loss, remember joys; in every rose, you’ll see the boy.
