    Story Behind the Song
    This is a story about two childhood friends who fall in love, and as lovers spend four seasons together-he is a painter, and is terminally ill-she is a songwriter...and writes a song about all of it after he passes-so... the story goes that throughout the ups and downs of his illness and their relationship, he begins and completes a painting encrypted with special memories for her to hold onto when he passes from the earth-Thus the line "Hang, the flowers on my wall"-is in poetic form.
    This was a very difficult song to arrange-I wanted to capture the essence of the song, without becoming monotonous-the song is very long-but it tells a story-and I have a shortened version-but this is my favorite-Jeff Tweeter is a genuis composer, arranger, and tech-I could not have achieved this without him. The song took four years after I wrote it to find completion. "Four Seasons"...Ironic.

    Lyrics
    A field of yellow daises
    The thorns of a rose
    A lovers knot
    Tied by his hands
    Angels in the snow

    A bracelet of clover
    Fairy garlands for my hair
    Charcoal drawings, laced with ink
    Frayed but yet secure

    A cup of sable brushes
    Bare feet on a wood floor
    And a glass, of midnight talks
    His careless signature

    Can love last forever?
    I want to believe
    Hang, the flowers on my wall
    A testimony, of his love for me

    Red strokes on virgin canvas
    Unveiled and redefined
    A tinder box of watercolors
    His breath on my throat

    Relics from the attic
    Shadows from my heart
    His number penciled in my book
    Erased but faintly seen

    Is love ever simply
    What it seems to be?
    Seasons change, and love can fade
    To an aching need, to an aching need

    modulation-Four seasons of expression
    Cryptic, flowing lines
    He loved me and he loved me not
    Still, he was my best friend

    Petals of a daisy
    The thorns of a rose
    Hang, the flowers on my wall
    A testimony of his love for me rpt. end
