The Rose Is Returning

[Words from my song "The Rose Is Returning...Copyright SOCAN. Video on YouTube.]
"The sun is in the western sky...
the birds are in the flowers...
As I look out upon the world...
And pass away the hours...
I tell myself that I must learn...
To walk out there again...
And leave this place
where I have stayed...
long sheltering from the rain...
The rose is returning...
Down by the crooked lane...
Where you walked beside me...
Before the midnight rain"...
....................Quester.
