VERSE 1
The whistling wind makes me shiver
Its gray shrieks make me cry
I remember the joyous gleam
That it stole from my eyes
I remember that day
When the wind swept away
Life’s dear comfort and warmth
On that bitter autumn day
CHORUS
Maple leaves curl and quiver
And flail in the air
Their rude act of dying
Paints red/brown everywhere
But I know harsh enchantment
Can’t turn real love astray
Because Love never withers
Love never withers
Love never withers away
VERSE 2
The wooden horses coyly pranced
As we slid through the night
To the carousel’s raucous dance
Far from destiny’s light
Silly children, we played
But forgot how to pray
We were trapped in ourselves
And we couldn’t get away
BRIDGE
Memory haunts me in waking and sleep
The promise we buried we swore we would keep
A passion that lives in worlds without end
My love, we can’t fail this promise again.
CHORUS
Maple leaves curl and quiver
And flail in the air
Their rude act of dying
Paints red/brown everywhere
But I know harsh enchantment
Can’t turn real love astray
Because Love never withers
Love never withers
Love never withers away
