Bloom

We wait as the air changes.
Have we passed the season
Where the frosted wind ranges?
Will the flowers get to run?

Have we passed the season
When people get pared away?
Will the flowers get to run
All the colours of the longer day?

When people get pared away
Tears cast rainbows in my eyes -
All the colours of the longer day,
As the winterbourne dries.

Tears cast rainbows in my eyes -
Where the frosted wind rages,
As the winterbourne dries,
We wait as the air changes.
