love will touch you if you care the day is very fine someone will take your hand but no one will hold you there she waits by a yellow door the sun is very bright and you are looking for someone to love she will touch you if you care her skin is very light the sun is waiting were the sky is very white please continue in the game it never was the same and love is something more than an expensive fire love will touch you if you care the day is very fine someone may take you there but no one will hold your hand

trees that gather under shadows gather sparrows and white arrows gather dreams because my love is green fire and heat consume the sunlight and the moonlight of the midnight on the burning bed my love is red CH. my love is a red red rose she keeps me warm she shades me from the summer sun an keeps me dry when spring rains come and when I die my love will morn (and) in the spring my love will sing when I'm born I am singing in the bright sky bells are ringing and the birds fly one and one are two because my love is blue clowns and carnival collections blow on horns and play selections as they bellow my love is yellow CH. my love is a red red rose she keeps me warm she shades me from the summer sun an keeps me dry when spring rains come and when I die my love will morn (and) in the spring my love will sing when I'm born soft reflections from green valleys cover me in silver allies I'll be back because my love is black white soft snow fell and transformed the broken midnight into dawn and the dawn is bright because my love is white CH. My love...

the mystery maid gave me to glass i don't know her name but the blue mountain laughed the silver sage said he was sad in the bad lands silver was saved a child of fire made me a flame the widows waved from a city of grain they saw the saints come and go come and stay all of them came from a city of clay city of cain, city of glass the rider came and the wine was passed

the sun comes down to make the fiery face of fields burn in the eyes, the face of fire burns in the breath the light of lamps, the night is black and quiet, the stars burn in the sky, the darkest light a dance of lamps the breath of life, the voice of rain and fire and sky the life of lakes, the breath of sound the sound of song the sun comes down to make the fiery face of fields burn in the eyes, the face of fire burns in the breath

Old Mother Moon caries a spoon across a table. She couldn't go away. She had to stay. She came to soon. We didn't know the day. She was to arrive at five. Old Father Sky looked at me in the eyes. He couldn't see much of me. Meadows and mice do not survive under the spell of a diamond knife, Old Mother Time caries a dial. She couldn't tell what time to cry. She wondered why all of the lights had gotten so bright. Old Mother Time caries a dial She couldn't tell what time to cry. She wondered why all of the lights had gotten so bright. Once in a while some of the children would Tell the Father Sun he couldn't have won. The father tried to tell the mother some, some of the times he'd made up his mind.
