Forgetting granite stone
Above my only child
Not often stringless hearts like mine compose great symphonies
Joyful rhythms of the shore
Melodies from sea
Hardly ever dawn’s warm sun will burn up all my mist
But on this morn in winter’s scorn
I venture out and kiss
A scent with lips so soft
Drapes me like a shawl
Makes my soul sprout wings
And fly with gulls aloft
It’s not a dream but real
Grace with warmth adorned
Soaring high in your embrace
A chance to truly heal
Seldom love will open all my dusty window shades
Allow the day to march in
Like a band and play
Rarely clumsy feet so cold can be convinced to dance
But with cymbals crashing loud
Strength leads me to chance
Stubborn shadows whisper a haunting echoed hiss
But on this morn in winter’s scorn
I venture out and kiss
A scent with lips so soft
Drapes me like a shawl
Makes my soul sprout wings
And fly with gulls aloft
It’s not a dream but real
Grace with warmth adorned
Soaring high in your embrace
A chance to truly heal
Birthed from rarest moon azure I stand on a new beach
With breezes singing in my ear
I play my heart for you
First time in seven years I throw sunglasses off my eyes
I sweep death’s darkness off the grave
Along with Satan’s lies
I know one day I’ll see my son it’s more than just a wish
In Heaven near your throne of gold
I’ll hold him close … and kiss
A scent with lips so soft
Drapes me like a shawl
Makes my soul sprout wings
And fly with gulls aloft
It’s not a dream but real
Grace with warmth adorned
Soaring high in your embrace
A chance to truly heal
But on this morn in winter’s scorn
I venture out and kiss
