Steeples and Spires,
inglenook fires,
once warm desires
take my mind
back through a maze
of frolics and frays,
we spent the days
hearts entwined.


(Chorus:)

Tears and smiles blend my sweet sorrow
memories of a love now past.

Grief defiles the joy I borrow
from romance so unsteadfast.


Swift flowing streams,
silver moonbeams,
my broken dreams,

Echoing rhymes,
of happier times
but now their chimes
cease to sound


(Chorus)


How long can I
live this fools lie,
striving in vain
to ease loves pain.


Moments of bliss,
thoughts such as this
I should dismiss
and I've tried
to no avail
I falter and fail,
hopelessly frail,
torn inside.


(Chorus)
