Your Winter Eyes

[Deleted User]

This is a ballad I'm working on for my fictional horror novel. It's a song about the futility of falling in love with the beautiful sorceress, Hedra. I'll record a demo for it soon.

song from the forthcoming horror novel "Omega's Dark: The Transference"

--Verse 1
Lost in the winter's silence of autumn
Your heart can see what's under the snow
Hope lies asleep beneathe every white drift
Your winter eyes still see what can grow

--Chorus
So far and so close
So blind and so clear
The voices we know are always so near
As each of us pines for the one we hold dear
Love waits lonely beneath the grace of your snow
While your winter is here

--Verse 2
Hope in your heart remembers the summer
Do your thoughts retrace what's under the snow
Love lies asleep but promised to waken
Your winter eyes remember and know

(repeat chorus)

--Bridge
Try to recall everything
every moment, each word
that you whispered to me
I live for the hour, the minute,
the second, the moment
your heart melts for me

(repeat chorus through fade out)

Magical Joseph, It has a mystical quality about the song, tends to draw you in like a Siren's lament.

Looking forward to hearing these poetic words put to music, keep hearing those Enya type songs each time I read the lyrics

Thank you for your review and kind words, Sid. Yes, I would love to hear either Enya or Emmy Rossum sing the song, especially with the great voice Emmy showcased in Phantom of the Opera. Canada is home to an Enya-like songstress named Marcomé. Each of these three ladies is beautiful and sings with the voice of an angel.

Cheers,

Joseph
