Winter Fades To Springtime
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, October 25,2009, @ 11: 22 AM

Birds sing their songs but for others
Children pine away for their mothers
Fools fall in love and think it's cool
Beside me sits an empty barstool

Such heartache and pain
I can't stand the rain
In anguish naked, I stand for all to see
Yet no one can see me

Minstrel, jester, and the class clown
Tears fall like waterfalls till I drown
Weeping and wailing yet I make not a sound
Brown are my leafs on the ground found

O' dear God hear my plea
No one is there anymore for me
Someone, please rip my heart out I need it no more
Tear it out and throw it on the floor

These thoughts no longer I can ignore
No longer the gangster settling the score
My heart, my life, my soul, and all that I am feeling
Heart scorched needs plenty of healing

Looking forward to peace of mind
In this world no more can I find
These eyes of mine are now blind
This world has been so unkind

Take me away to another place and time
Where mountains no longer I climb
Wedding bells no longer chime
Winter fades to springtime
