Valentine Melody You came to me with fire inside Your movements and your pride And asking to be rescued from The pain you had become I tore apart the prison and I hid you in my hand In the blue light of Christmastime Santa Claus was kind I wonder if you'll ever grow Oh far enough to throw Away the lies of no and yes And love my quietness Or will you only freeze and frown and lose what you have found? In the white light of Easter season will you live again? Today the coin is in the air And we are here and there And where and when have caught us in The web of violence I pray to all the world as one that day will bring the sun In the scarlet light of Valentine's our paper hearts are blind.
