Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall Stealing through the dark of night Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor Checking to the left and the right Picking up the pieces, putting them away Something doesn’t feel quite right ---

When the white eagle of the north is flying overhead And the browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead Remember then the summer birds with wings of fire flaying Come to witness spring’s new hope, born of leaves decaying As new life will come from death, love will come with leisure Love of love, love of life and giving without measure Gives in return a wondrous yearn of a promise almost seen. Live hand-in-hand and together we’ll stand On the threshold of a dream ---
