As Winter Winds Blow

Walking a lonely path as winter winds blow
By the dark of night under glistening stars
I think of you in your blazing aura and all you know
About life and love learned from afar

By the dark of night under glistening stars
I follow a path of things unknown
About life and love learned from afar
And wonder when life's secrets will be shown.

I follow a path of things unknown
My heart thump thumps and my eyes glaze
And wonder when life's secrets will be shown
When will the Light show the way through the maze

My heart thump thumps and my eyes glaze
until an orange sun rises in the sky
When will the Light show the way through the maze.
When will I know the answer why

Until an orange sun rises in the sky
I think of you in your blazing aura and all you know
When will I know the answer why
Walking a lonely path as winter winds blow
