On Gossamer Wings

From the flat Of my back I watched Love Fly away on gossamer wings Just as it was given, so quickly it was taken away Breathless, Curled in the fetal position I was helpless From the flat of my back I watched Love fly away On gossamer wings I watched Life bring Me Curious things From the flat of my back I watched Love Fly away Then The Winds of change came And the summer night air Dried the windswept tears And The Tranquility of The glowing Stars Soothed the empty hole in my heart That was aching On gossamer wings My strength has come back Gossamer wings Don’t always bring painful things. From the flat of my back I watched love fly away Gone for now, but not for always On gossamer wings But it will come back And The bird will sing
