Co-written with Lee Kirchhevel. Slide guitar on my trusty Danelectro 59 by Jan Zverina. A sad and fairly depressing lament, but well received by many who observed that this song does end on a positive note that love will be found again!
Lyrics
I used to love the flower bloom in springtime
Now-they-just-seem like so many weeds
The promise of those warmer days before us
Now my heart is hardened and just bleeds
I used to love the gentle breeze in summer
Now-it-just-seems like a howling squall
The sun - the sands along the seashore
Looking back we truly had it all
Take me away, take me today
Take me so I can let things go
Make me a place, save me a space
To heal, to feel, what love is again
I used to love the golden leaves in autumn
Now they just seem like dying trees
Those early evenings sitting ‘round the fire
Now I just count the days before the freeze
The nights are long
And somehow wrong
I’m feeling so damn lonely
It’s been raining all night
I dream of starlight
And I’m feeling so damn empty
I used to love the falling snow in winter
Now it’s just a bitter cold to me
The nights we held each other oh so warmly
Now it’s just a faded memory
Take me away, take me today
Take me so I can let things go
Make me a place, save me a space
To heal, to feel, what love is again
Again.
