The fields where white with the wings of gulls
This time last September
When evening came in the afternoon
Too gently to remember
Spruce and laurel
Pine and yew
Needle, cone and splinter
Will love stay green
As the years grow few
And spring turns into winter
A face as pale as a daylight moon
Embers in the ashes
Evening lights in the afternoon
A fire behind your lashes
Spruce and laurel
Pine and yew
Needle, cone and splinter
Will love stay green
As the years grow few
And spring turns into winter
Breathe on an ember
Time in time our love
We'll lovingly remember
May to December
Limb by limb, our love
We'll lovingly dismember
Leaves that curl at the touch of frost
Fall apart in your fingers
But evergreen is the love we have
While the memory lingers
Spruce and laurel
Pine and yew
Needle, cone and splinter
Will love stay green
As the years grow few
And spring turns into winter
