To a Woman in Winter - Freddie Stevenson[00:00:00]
I saw you on the street in a foreign city[00:00:25]
Just beyond the border of a dream[00:00:32]
You were going somewhere in a hurry[00:00:38]
I knew somehow you were coming to see me[00:00:44]
I waited in the square by the frozen fountain[00:00:51]
A pair of sparrows were pecking at the ice[00:00:58]
Their tiny beaks were carving out your mouth and your eyes[00:01:04]
They flew away and you melted into life[00:01:11]
Now the street raises a sleepy smile to greet you[00:01:18]
Snow falls like confetti on your hair[00:01:25]
Every passer by salutes you[00:01:32]
But you don't seem to notice or to care[00:01:38]
In the square I hear the church bells chiming midnight[00:01:45]
Let me take your freezing hand in mine[00:01:52]
Let's walk awhile in the moonlight[00:01:58]
Forget that we're running out of time[00:02:05]
Some people say that seeing is believing[00:02:39]
But I just don't believe that to be true[00:02:46]
I believe we dream things into being[00:02:53]
Why else would I still believe in you [00:03:00]
Why else would I dream away my lonely nights [00:03:07]
Without dreams we'd have no reason to wake up[00:03:13]
I live my life in shadow cast by sparks of light[00:03:20]
Any moment the whole thing could blow up[00:03:27]
Today my hair is several winters whiter[00:03:34]
And I'm still building castles in the air[00:03:40]
I still have only questions and no answers[00:03:47]
I'm still waiting by the fountain in the square[00:03:54]
Sometimes you seem so far away[00:04:01]
And other times you're close enough to touch[00:04:08]
I have only come to pass the time of day[00:04:15]
I hope that's not asking too much[00:04:21]
