Azaleas

Here in the garden

At the edge of the night

I watch for your silhouette

Against the moonlight

You told me forgiveness

Is like being born again

I believe you now

I wish I did then

I wait for you

To burst back through

Those garden gates

Oh I wait

Oh I wait

All of these flowers

Will be dead by the fall

Is such fading glory

Glory at all?

You laughed,

Of course it is

Was that just last spring?

I believe you now

About everything

I wait for you

To burst back through

Those garden gates

Oh I wait

Oh I wait

I still come out here,

The Azaleas in bloom

Looking for for answers

Reading clouds like runes

It all remains beautiful

The fire of the sun

That purple, reflected

This gold that you’ve spun

I wait for you

To burst back through

Those garden gates

Oh I wait

Oh I wait
