When the Wind Was Green
Whispers of Love: Embracing the Seasons in 'When the Wind Was Green'
Lyrics
When the wind was green at the start of the spring
At the beginning of spring when the air had a fresh, green quality
When the wind was green like a living thing
When the wind had vitality and resembled a living entity
It was on my lips and its kiss was fair
The sensation of the wind was akin to a gentle kiss, pleasant and lovely
You were there
During that time, you were present or involved
When the wind was red like a summer wine
When the wind had a red hue, reminiscent of summer wine
When the wind was red like your lips on mine
Similar to the redness of your lips on mine, implying passion
It caressed my face and it tossed my hair
The wind's touch was gentle, affecting my appearance
You were there
During this time, you were also present or involved
Then came the fall and all of love
Transitioning into fall, a metaphor for the decline or end of love
came tumbling, stumbling down
Love started to collapse or disintegrate rapidly
Like leaves that lost to frost and found
Comparing love's loss to leaves affected by frost and subsequently falling
They were flying, crying
Depiction of the emotional state of love, flying away and crying
In a brown wind dying
Metaphorical portrayal of love's decline, resembling dying leaves in a brown wind
But the winter's come and we both should know
Now in winter, symbolizing a cold or harsh phase in the relationship
That the wind is white like the swirling snow
Describing the wind as white, much like swirling snow, signaling a stark change
And we'll never see all the wonderful things to be seen
Recognition that they might never experience the wonderful things together when times were vibrant
When the wind is green
A nostalgic reflection on the past when things were alive, represented by the green wind
