a single word

 

if my love for you were a rose
    it would bloom in summer
        and then fade

if my love for you were a raging storm
    it would break your heart
        then go away

and if my love for you were a rock of old
    it would last forever,
        but be so cold

but my love for you is a dawn in spring
    light on the sea
        a road going on for ever

and my love for you is a bursting bloom
    a tree in green
        forever growing

and my love for you is a mountain breeze
    snow on the air
        a soaring bird
    a single word
        spoken softly


song written for Fiona around 1995

simple folk melody

those of you at the dinner at AVI2002 in Trento, this is the song I sang then
