Story Behind the Song
This song, like all my songs, was "stream of consciousness". The tune suggested the lyrics - dark yet hopeful - a reflection on the shortness of life
Lyrics
Summer green gives way to Autumn gold
But the breath of winter comes again
to wrap us in its cold death
All our lives a moving on
from springtime flowers till summer's gone
then autumn here and then it flies
to winter's chill surprise
CH: So what you gonna do with your life?
You sprout like winter wheat then you
die
You reach for the sun, the light draws
you on
And then its gone!
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
Gimme sunshine, gimme light
My heart can't beat in the cold night
Seasons change and so do I
The story's got another line
We live, we learn, we love, we die
We move in another time
CHORUS
There's a wrinkle in the heart of time
They say its hard, its hard to find
But I've been through, I've seen the light
I've been to the other side.
A child's dream, a singer's song
Can't say if its right or wrong
The poet writes another verse
Gives lie to the ancient curse
