V1 
Sleepless, I gaze through the window 
At roses growing close to the wall 
Dew from the long night is forming 
I know many petals will fall 
 
Chorus 
Grey is the colour of my true loves hair 
His eyes are faded blue 
The hands that I love, once hard and strong 
Look bruised where the veins show through 
Where did it go? When did it go? 
We seemed not to notice at all 
With the passing of years, the joy and the tears 
Its kindness I mainly recall 
 
V2
We paid with youth for our wisdom         
Yet memories make me smile late at night  
For I know though these hours move slowly 
In my heart, loves embers burn bright 
 
Bridge 
He's dreaming softly beside me 
Once the lover who hid in my garden 
Then came to my arms when the moon rose 
And our bodies needed no pardon 
 
Chorus

Hi Nadia,

It's so mice to meet you. I see you are a fan of Alan David's music, as am I.

Your music is beautiful. I particularly enjoyed "Kindness Mainly I Recall". Gemm'as voice shines. Your piano is so rich and wonderful. And Billy's cello is just beautiful. I completely enjoyed this.
