On melting wings
But the seasons change so fast

Lyrics : ..Blind (Lord)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I see reflections in the water
Autumn colours, summer's daughter
And as as the year is growing older
I see winter on my shoulder

I stand in the haze
Watching stormy ripples grow on my own
Never knew you were needed
'Till I found myself standing here alone

[Verse 2]
And in the water, such a sad face
Slowly drowning, such a sad face
If only I could change the seasons
Like a poet, I've my reasons

It started to snow
In the middle of July, wonder why
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky

[Chorus]
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons change so fast
Leave us all behind
Blind

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
But then the stone fell on the water
Putting end to summer's daughter
And me, I turn away remembering
All the seasons, such a sad thing

It started to rain in the middle of the sun
Winter's begun
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky

[Chorus]
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons change so fast
Leave us all behind
Blind

[Outro]
