In the stark mid-winter

Felt my heart

unfolding

like a fragile flower

in early bloom

 

Heat was burning on me

Fire burned within

'till the rain

and cold winds

lost their gloom

 

I climbed the mountains

of the wild lands

inside me

Their towering peaks

beneath my feet

 

I'd see the valleys

fertile, green

and promising

a place

where we could meet

 

But you never noticed

the flower or the burning

from the valley

that hides you well

and you couldn't notice

as time passed

in your valley

there were mountains

from which I fell

 

But I hope you know this

I was searching for you

I felt so sure I'd find you for a spell

 

 

 

Coming now to Springtime

though ice still claims the land

and the fragile flower

perished

in the chill

 

Nothing lasts for ever

Nothing lasts at all

except the fire

that burns

within me still

 

Somewhere

in the wild lands

lost

and gone astray

a lone soul

seeks a way

that's hard to find

 

This is Brian

missing Rachel

You wouldn't notice

the flower or the burning

from the valley

that hides you well

How could you know this?

I thought I'd reach your valley

There were mountains

from which

I fell

 

This is Brian

missing Rachel
