Analysis of Song



Wherever the wind blows at night
Liquid dark is the predawn sight
That mocks my desire to pour the day bright…
Thick is the soggy air
That sucks away that melody fair
Tucked away deep within my heart
Wanting and waiting a new love to start…
All of heaven is the space
Where I will trumpet of the grace,
The tender nature of someone true…
Someone soft and silly just like you!
