A Cold Wind

A Cold Wind

there’s a cold wind blowing
just outside my door
and a heavy rain is falling
where the sky was blue before
and I know they’ve come to tell me
not to fight it any more
and a cold wind is blowing
just outside my door

when I think back to the summer years
my dreaming mind takes flight
and I marvel at the journey
that introduced me to this night
I hear voices warm and tender
don’t fight it any more
but a cold wind’s still blowing
just outside my door

now memories once faded
arrest me from my sleep
and I reach out to reveal them
bring them back into my keep
the voices are much softer now
don’t fight it any more
and the wind’s a little quieter 
just outside my door

in the theatre of my dreaming
I return to timeless years
a travel through the seasons
the laughter and the tears
the voices now are whispers
but I’m not listening any more
and the cold wind’s stopped blowing
just outside my door
