the sun king [reprise] by Joseff MaratCrisp leaves in the grass
my breath shoots out in front of me
to match the morning fog upon the fields
The moon is never gone
even in the light of day
to the sword of fall the summer solstice yeilds
Whilst we mourn the golden valleys
he slowly melts the icey creek
and the frost bitten branches smile
The passion of the Sun King lingers
as he kisses his maiden months goodbye
he returns to warm my face in denile
Even though he may be king
he must bow to Lady Winter
and beg for another spring.
