People forget how good his early stuff was don't they?
ReplyDeleteWas one of the favorite albums of my youth!
ReplyDelete"I was one as you were one
ReplyDeleteAnd we were too so much in love forever
I loved the white socks that you wore
But you don't wear white socks no more, now you're a woman
I joked about your turned-up nose
And criticized your school girl clothes
But would I then have paced these roads to love you
Seasons come and seasons go
Bring forth the rain the sun and snow
Make Valerie a woman and Valerie is lonely
No more to roam on the snow hills of Hienton
Undecided with the guardians of the older generation
A doormat was a sign of welcome in the winter months to come
And then the summer laughing through the castle ruins we'd run
For the quadrangle sang to the sun
And the grace of our feeling
And the candle burned low
As we talked of the future
Underneath the ceiling
There were tears in the sky
And the clouds in your eyes they were just cover
For your thighs were the cushions
Of my love and yours for each other
Seasons come and seasons go
Bring forth the rain the sun and snow
Make Valerie a woman and Valerie is lonely
The songs still are sung, it was fun to be young
But please don't be sad where 'ere you are
I am who I am, you are who you are
Now Valerie's a woman
Now Valerie's a woman
Now Valerie's a woman"
...I was young and crossed in love...lying in the snow of an Austrian mountain...
Yes, nothing beats the feeling of being young and unhappily in love...
ReplyDeleteRemember it well *sigh*
