Spring was my honey
For her I oozed
As she sat back and swallowed
Each spoonful of you

And for that summer
Started so slow
Crept in quietly
To burn a hole
Where passion spent
Left a heavy sweat
Between my blades

And I knew that we
Were as ever-changing as the constant sea
And you were just what I needed
For that dormant heart
For that tender loveless part
To open again

Autumn was my downfall
Return season of her
But she lit your cigarette all the same
For a fool never learns
Even when he’s been burned once before

Winter came this morning to take you away
The clouds in the distance
Banged dusty and grey
Spindly trees with no birds
A reminder of what we once were

And I knew that we
Were as ever-changing as the constant sea
And you were just what I needed
For that dormant heart
For that tender loveless part
To open again.
