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,
Lie around.


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)
