Longer Shadows - Ken Hensley

Winter came today and took the sun away

Leaving me with nothing but the stars to play

But I’m sure that I won’t let it bring me down

The rough comes with the smooth but that’s what life’s about

Working on the principle that you’ll be here

I can stand alone for quite a while

I know I can learn to live the changes of the year

Mellow in the river of your smile

I know that the season’s Queen can hear me

She’s brining longer shadows to the trees

Perhaps she knows I’d love to have you near me

So she tries her very best to please, her best to please

I suppose I’ll always have these memories

Till we are together once again

Of the days which were so long and lonely

Till the longer shadows and all the golden meadows

Tell me that the time has come for us to live again
