Calendar days, one by one; Calendar days on the run.
Like leaves in the autumn, they strip the trees bare.
And memories of summer have left only a blur.
Oh come to me when lights are low;
Oh come to me when days are slow.
We were an alchemy of spirit and fire.
We were an alchemy of time and desire.
Winter binds autumn to spring, it’s all part of the annual ring.
And I vow to love you here today.
Bitter and cold came the tears, heartache beating the time in my ear,
And I vow to love you here today at the turn of the year.
Day after day; week after week;
Month after month, I’ll always seek.
Those days that are lost to me still burn bright and clear,
And you who are gone from me will ever be near.
Winter binds autumn to spring, it’s all part of the annual ring.
And I vow to love you here today.
Bitter and cold came the tears, heartache beating the time in my ear,
And I vow to love you here today at the turn of the year.
