ON CHARIOTS OF THUNDER
Quietly, she bids
Farewell
With each sultry dawn
That rises and sets…
Farewell
With each sultry dawn
That rises and sets…
With little
Sorrow
As her heart wishes to show
She is slowly readying
To go...
Sorrow
As her heart wishes to show
She is slowly readying
To go...
Soon, she will ride
On chariots of thunder
With tears falling fast
From her blue sky eyes.
Her smiles will turn grim
Her laughter will
Turn to bellowing screams
Upon the wind…
On chariots of thunder
With tears falling fast
From her blue sky eyes.
Her smiles will turn grim
Her laughter will
Turn to bellowing screams
Upon the wind…
Now, quietly she walks
Her footfalls already
An echo!
Her footfalls already
An echo!
The laughs and dreams
She has seen come true
They are locked safe
In her heart…
She collects these
They are her own deeds’ shadows…
She has seen come true
They are locked safe
In her heart…
She collects these
They are her own deeds’ shadows…
Her bags packed
She paces in small steps
Toward the open door
And soon, she’ll be gone!
She paces in small steps
Toward the open door
And soon, she’ll be gone!
Leaving though she is
In tears flowing
And soul wailing
Letting gloom take
His stance
In her stead.
Not for long
Will she be gone…
In tears flowing
And soul wailing
Letting gloom take
His stance
In her stead.
Not for long
Will she be gone…
Just a year
Of dull heavens
And little irritating insects
Of the earth sprouting
Wild greens
And of old housetops
Leaking raindrops
While roads and driveways
Resemble rivers
Of slippery treachery!
Of dull heavens
And little irritating insects
Of the earth sprouting
Wild greens
And of old housetops
Leaking raindrops
While roads and driveways
Resemble rivers
Of slippery treachery!
Please stay
I ask of her
Summer, you are my
Favorite time of the year
Yes, you are my dear…
I ask of her
Summer, you are my
Favorite time of the year
Yes, you are my dear…
But she steps slowly
Away from me
Toward the open door
Of the season change…
Away from me
Toward the open door
Of the season change…
Quietly she bids
Farewell
Soon, very soon
She’ll be riding
On chariots of thunder
Along streets of lightning…!
Farewell
Soon, very soon
She’ll be riding
On chariots of thunder
Along streets of lightning…!
