Dance of the Seasons

Dance me through the springtime
To the sound of a twelve string guitar;
Dance me through the terror
When I don't know where you are.
Dance me through the summer
With red roses in your hair;
Take me through the wind and storm
Plant your kisses everywhere.
Dance me through the autumn
Let your body touch my mind;
You are my only lover
And I see you though I'm blind.
Dance me through the winter
When both of us will cry;
And your eyes are filled with sorrow
When we both must say goodbye.

Bittersweet, and utterly charming... again, the structure is impeccable - rhyme, flow and sentiment. Best wishes, Keith
