As the clock comes close to three
I want to say one thing my dear
So still and listen to me
When soft spring winds on budding bows
whispered gently to the trees
He told them of a secret place
known only to you and me
whispered gently to the trees
He told them of a secret place
known only to you and me
The light spring wind was gentle,
gave you hope when hope was gone
My wounded soldier onward marched
using brain as well as brawn
gave you hope when hope was gone
My wounded soldier onward marched
using brain as well as brawn
Then came the summers sunny touch
forcing back the rain
She led you to a higher hill
above a grassy plain
forcing back the rain
She led you to a higher hill
above a grassy plain
Your knees from months of walking
buckeled from the strain
The summer gladly caught you
and took away your pain
buckeled from the strain
The summer gladly caught you
and took away your pain
So there you lay in Summers arms
unmoving and unknown
Until the crisp fall wind
showed you the way home
unmoving and unknown
Until the crisp fall wind
showed you the way home
The cooling touch of autumn
led you by the hand
Across mountians of glass
and oceans filled with sand
led you by the hand
Across mountians of glass
and oceans filled with sand
The oak trees leaves sighed in the breeze
and fluttered gently down
As my weary wounded soldier
fought to hide a frown
and fluttered gently down
As my weary wounded soldier
fought to hide a frown
The winter pushed him onwards
never letting him to rest
The winter month though sligtly harsh
knew that he knew best
never letting him to rest
The winter month though sligtly harsh
knew that he knew best
The cold wind only bit him
when the cold wind knew it should
It pushed him ever onward
towards the fairy wood
when the cold wind knew it should
It pushed him ever onward
towards the fairy wood
I opened my arms gladly upon
seeing my true love
I knew that months brought us together
when push had turned to shove
seeing my true love
I knew that months brought us together
when push had turned to shove
Its true i had my moments
when i myself saw death
When the hooded figure towered
I had barely gasped for breath
when i myself saw death
When the hooded figure towered
I had barely gasped for breath
But my soldier how he begged me
to stay only for him
And who was I to refuse
such a lovely whim
to stay only for him
And who was I to refuse
such a lovely whim
I met him in the summer months
courted him in the fall
I loved him through the winter months
which were the hardest of them all
courted him in the fall
I loved him through the winter months
which were the hardest of them all
Now we hang in the balance
as do we all
Where dreams become reality
where someone takes the fall
as do we all
Where dreams become reality
where someone takes the fall
So when you close your eyes my dear
and do not wake from sleep
My weary winter soldier
know that i will weep
and do not wake from sleep
My weary winter soldier
know that i will weep
We will not long be parted though
for in your footsteps i shall follow
Through the darkened corners
into every broken hallow
for in your footsteps i shall follow
Through the darkened corners
into every broken hallow
And when the summer months have fled
and winter brings his chill
Know that you are not alone
I'll love you ever still
and winter brings his chill
Know that you are not alone
I'll love you ever still
We will be reunited
under sun and moon and stars
There is no love stronger dear
or even close to ours
under sun and moon and stars
There is no love stronger dear
or even close to ours
