lyrics

I'll wave my troubles goodbye; you've grown colder than the coldest season, and I don't need a reason. A light is fading, with things your saying, these are words onto a fire.
Your imagination is rearranging what remains, to serve your one desire.
Another word onto the fire.
What if your eye won't see it? What if your hand refuses to feel it? Is it the coldest season? Then, what if we are one good reason? Right there! You play the game, one of mystery and wonder. Right there, again, you play the game. What a mystery and no wonder that's when you came. So...
Who shall I love?
When autaumn leaves are falling, and winter winds come calling.
Who shall I love?
When leaves change to turn the season, when mistakes are worth repeating, and when it's colder than the coldest season. I believe the leaves will change to turn the season.
My imagination. Fucking imagination. In this failing light, in this... god help us all. If "who shall I love" becomes a word onto the fire? When music becomes a word onto the fire. When it is all just another word onto the fire. Who shall I love? Who shall I love? Who shall I love?

Trying to find the crossroads where people, the wilderness, and music greet one another. Music is dear to me, and I try to write about what I know. Simple music for simple people is my only goal.
