Skylark Blues

There was a morning

Clear, like a diamond

There was a fresh breeze of soft

April clean

I secretly watched you

High, on the bright blue

Shining my young smile, above the spring-green

New to this huge day

Of promises so many

When happiness in full strength

Blows you away

Falling in laughter

Rising on new smiles

High, till you April is bursting with may

Skylark, skylark, looking down at me

Skylark, skylark, when will I be free

A lifetime has passed now

Much more than one time

A life without skylarks

Of closing dark doors

Another lifetime of winters

And crowded dark shadows

Until there's nothing now left

Of the child anymore
