Don't ask me how I know

But this dark sky will soon be blue

Don't ask, no don't ask

Just watch as the grey mists of winter fall

Like so many drops of dew

Feel the ice melt to warm tears in my eyes

Uner the light of a tin sun

Do not ask me how I know

The effect of light on unseeing eyes

How should I know?

How could I know?

Dark now my sky

The sea of peace has left my shore

No birds cry

The silent spring will overflow

Oh you'll never know

I love you so

You'll always be

A part of me



Dark now my eyes

The sea of peace has met the sky

No birds sing

And like the Spring life whispers by

Oh you'll never know

I love you so

You'll always be

A part of me



Dark now my sky

The winds of time have swept my shore

No birds fly

The trees that fall will rise no more

Oh you'll never know

I love you so

You'll always be

A part of me
