(this is really a song, slow, free-flowing, much rubato)

One-Week Love

Warmer than it should be,
Yet chilling even still.
Showing me what could be,
Softening my will.
Like love for the sinner,
This springtime in winter,
This February rain.

The trees the same as me,
Wanting to believe.
The sap begins to flow,
But even so we know,
It's just too soon to bloom.
It'll freeze again 'ere June,
And the cold will remain.
A short reprieve from pain,
This February rain.

Like love for the sinner,
This springtime in winter,
This February rain.

Softening my heart,
Promising another start,
As the surface of the ground.
The lost sheep now is found.
I want to believe,
But I know it's gonna freeze,
It's just a warm reprieve,
Melting pain to tears,
A short escape from fears.
It'll grow cold again tomorrow,
the tears freeze into sorrow
After this February rain.

Like love for the sinner,
This springtime in winter,
This February rain.

Inviting me to sleep,
The blanket of clouds keep
The lighting soft and low,
(in a) Gentle purple glow,
So I can dream it's spring,
Forget everything,
The winter now is past,
My heart open at last,
Warmed by February rain.
Fed by February rain.
Reached by February rain.

Like love for the sinner,
This springtime in winter,
This February rain.
This February rain.
