Sparkling trees of silver foam
Cast shadows soft in winter home
Swaying branches breaking sound
Lonely forest trembling ground

Masquerading leaves of blue
Run circles round the morning dew
Patterns understood by you
Reaching out beyond and before

Time like gold dust brings mind down
To levels hidden underground
Say a few words to the wind
That's all that's left of winter's friend

Reaching the snow in the days of the cold
Casting a spell out of ice
Now that you're gone the summer's too long
And it seems like the end of my life beyond and before

Sparkling trees of silver foam
Cast shadows soft in winter home
Swaying branches breaking sound
Lonely forest trembling ground

Masquerading leaves of blue
Run circles round the morning dew
Patterns understood by you
Reaching out beyond and before

Reaching the snow in the days of the cold
Casting a spell out of ice
Now that you're gone the summer's too long
And it seems like the end of my life beyond and before

Time like gold dust brings mind down
Time like gold dust brings mind down
