Winter winds blow all the way
Frost unfurled, birds unburdened only yesterday
Eyes like the shape, fat on the feast
Subtle minds betray a wayward glance
January's freeze brings thawing spring
Bending bows drip to roots burgeoning
Blossom in hand [Bm]doubles worth
Display a dipole dance
Esperanza
Any longer
I waited til I couldn't hold
Any longer
And my [A]fear and [Bm]my [A]fear and [Bm]my [A]fear
Gathered cold
Now the ferns unwhirl
As fingers curl
Rays ɾun in veins on [C7]longer days
Blushing cheeks and [Bm]softer backs
Rise to [C7]an embrace
Waited so long
Feathers float
In dandelion [C7]air
Esperanza
Any longer
I waited til I couldn't hold
Any longer
And my [A]fear and [Bm]my [A]fear and [Bm]my [A]fear
Gathered cold
Now the fern's unwhirled
Like fingers curled
Scent of the one
Solitude's son
Hands intertwine
Yours and [Bm]mine
Daylight on [C7]the wing
Petals open up to [C7]give a gilded hue
Starlight's everything
I'll wrap it in the box that I am bringing you
Fate, heat, find, home, you
