lyrics

And maybe you were always Persephone
Belonging to my world only
In winter, in fall, when
The dead overtake the living
But during Spring and Summer
When the world is lush and
Full of life like you
I will mean nothing until
The earth is barren again

And my skin will be as red
And blistered as a child
By summer's end as I pluck
At the band around it every time
I think of you in your winter coat
Returning to my depths once more

Is this how I should feel forever,
Hades in a silent kingdom,
Ears pricked for the sound of you?
Days pass so quick above ground
Melting like snocones and makeup
While I wait an eternity
To see your face again.

And my skin will be as red
And blistered as a child
By summer's end as I pluck
At the band around it every time
I think of you in your winter coat
Returning to my depths once more

Oh, sweet summer child
The smell before rain, the crown of flowers,
Braided with love and thoughtlessness
Will my love for you finally run dry
Will the sliver of hope I keep alive
Finally die?

And my skin will be as red
And blistered as a child
By summer's end as I pluck
At the band around it every time
I think of you in your winter coat
Returning to my depths once more

Will you return, darling?
Will you descend once more?
Take the last of my warmth
It was always yours

I am but a torch singer in an indie chick's body. One day, I will learn to play guitar better. Until then, I guess everyone is just stuck with my poetic lyrics and full voice
