April, promises we made and weeks now I've been waiting
only to meet like awkward strangers.
April, how a year has changed you,
day by day erasing the April I recall.

Once upon a time, I knew a girl who
bursting into bloom was
singing from the morning rooftops.
Now who is this faded flower
pressed between the pages
of winter's heavy book?

Last year's April wasn't so cold
She opened up her arms to me
Last year's April shone so brightly
that everyone came out see

Do you remember how our summer smiles
reflecting one another, like mirrors facing
endless, endless?
I know the face behind that frown,
come turn the world around, now
to April once again,
bring April back again.
