Blackberry Winter - EmiSunshine

We married in Spring

When the birds start to sing.

On a June afternoon

With our family and friends.

His words were so fair

Like a breeze on a willow

Or the warmth of the Sun

On a hot burning ember.

Sometimes he feels

Like Blackberry Winter.

A love that grows cold

And a heart made of stone.

He used to be warm

Like the solstice of summer

But sometimes it feels

Like he’s already gone.

As the years passed by

Summer gave into winter.

Words spoken in anger

Turned my heart bitter

But love born in Spring

Can weather a winter

And leave your heart warm

With the faintest of cinders.

Sometimes he feels

Like Blackberry Winter.

A love that grows cold

And a heart made of stone.

He used to be warm

Like the solstice of Summer

But sometimes it feels

Like he’s already gone.

Can you kindle a love

Frosted by a winter?

Can you harvest the Sun

And reign in the moon?

When Love dies away

Is there time to remember

And warm up the heart

With the faintest of cinders.

Sometimes he feels

Like Blackberry Winter.

A love that grows cold

And a heart made of stone.

He used to be warm

Like the solstice of summer

But sometimes it feels

Like he’s already gone.
