Lyrics

He is not a weatherman

He lacks expertise as a weatherman.

But his bride lies with the land

His partner is connected intimately with the land.

And she will whisper to him

She communicates softly with him.

I'll be dressing up in snow

Expressing a desire to transform into snow.

Cloaked in echo it's almost

Wrapped in reverberation, seemingly known only by nature.

As if only Nature knows

Suggesting nature's exclusive understanding.

How to bring his wife to life

Nature's ability to animate his wife.

And breathe her into form

To breathe life into her physical form.


One more look from her eyes

Seeking one more glimpse through her eyes.

One more look can you paint her back to life

Questioning if a portrayal could revive her.


He knows every moor and mound

Familiar with every detail of the land.

Every curve of every hill

Knowledgeable about the topography.

A shoulder of the mountain

A specific part of the mountain.

Where they watched a thousand dawns

Witnessed numerous sunrises there.


One more look from her eyes

Yearning for another view from her eyes.

One more look can you paint her back to life

Asking if perception could revive her.


Rising she stirs

Her awakening begins.

First it blurs

Initial haziness in her emergence.

A breeze that lifts

A gentle wind starts.

Lilac blossoms from the earth

Lilac flowers lifted by the breeze.

Blending its shape

Morphing into a garment.

To a skirt

Forming a skirt.

With limbs that bend

Her limbs bending gracefully.

He's drawn toward her pirouette turn

Drawn towards her elegant twirl.

Autumn's peach black

Describing the colors of autumn.

Winter's velvet coat

Depicting winter's attire.

Pink Tourmaline,

Mentioning a pink gemstone, indicative of spring.

Palette of Spring

Spring's color palette.

In Summer she's wrapped in Viennese green

Describing summer's hue.


He is not a weatherman

Reiteration of his non-weatherman status.

But his bride lies with the land

His partner's profound connection with the land.

And she will whisper to him

Her gentle communication with him.

I'll be dressing up in snow

Expressing a desire to transform into snow.

Cloaked in echo it's almost

Enveloped in reverberations known to nature.

As if only Nature knows

Nature's ability to portray his wife's essence.

How to paint his wife to life

To bring her to life with the essence of each season.

With every season's tone

Infusing her with every seasonal tone.


One more look from her eyes

Yearning for another view through her eyes.

One more look from her eyes

Repetition emphasizing the longing for her gaze.

One more look from her eyes

Continued desire for her perspective.

One more look from her eyes

Continuing the yearning for her vision.

One more look from her eyes

Repeated longing for her gaze.

One more look can you paint her back to life

Questioning if a portrayal could revive her.
