You're Still Here

Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell

Rising and falling like rhapsody

And I see winter's broken like lace

In time for a celebration



Thaw wails inside the walls and laughs in the corners

Delighting in its evident victory

Till I feel springtime counting its days

Of flaunting a novel sensation



Like it's leaving, leaving behind the weight

Vying, for yesteryear

Leaving, promises in its wake

Whispering, my love, you're still here

You're still here



Hold on to your memories of sundogs and rainbows

As time writes a premature eulogy

And I feel summertime passing in haste

Like running out of patience



Quilted with knit and umbrellas and scarfs

And a mild understanding of irony

I feel autumn leaving the race

All done with the exhilaration



It's leaving, leaving behind the weight

Vying, for yesteryear

Leaving, promises in its wake

Whispering, my love, you're still here

You're still here



Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell

Rising and falling in harmony

And I feel winter stealing my days

To herald another creation
