A TEAR

Window scene is horizontal snow
It never stays around for long I know
This storm has been predicted for a week or so
Winter wonderland, right here, on the valley floor

Winter doldrums got me once again
I miss the shining sun, I miss my friend
He's never far away but he's never here
Sliding down my cheek I think I feel, a tear

I have got a prayer or two
that I'd like to share with you tonight
I'll be the one to care for you,
do my best to make your world right
make the world right

Into this pool of life a pebble tossed
In space and time another line's been crossed
Witness to the moment I was not
It lives and breathes in me with every thought
with every thought

And as I reach the point of no return
Flowers all around begin to bloom
I can feel the springtime drawing near
Sliding down my cheek I think I feel, a tear
