SONGS
Venus In Winter (McDonnell)
Some lovers come and go
Like icy waters melting from the snow
And I have searched again
In scrutiny of love and pain
By any other name
An ancient queen and still unbroken
I hear you just the same
Abstracted and unspoken
Venus in Winter
Calls me to be with her
Venus in Winter
But lost now and distant
From the turbulent seasons when the world was new
and charged with unreliable passions.
Through the losses and the gains,
Have I now learned to tell
The razor from the pearl?
I am a passenger of late
Bohemian with studied grace
Like an artist when the hungers gone
And all the flavours paled
You were the strand that tied
A truth for Men to lose and find
The star of morning’s light
And snowfall in the night
Venus in Winter
Calls me to be with her
Venus in Winter
Lost now and distant
