Chris Price songs
I don't know where this came from (I did write it). Its one of those that seem to write themselves.
Like a flower in bud
You are hidden from my love
Dressed still in your winter clothes
Protected like a thorny rose
That's life's way - I suppose
Like a tree in spring
Young bird that learns to sing
Awkward in her tenderness
Unmeasured for her summer dress
Its strange to me - I confess
Chorus:
Exquisite pain of unrequited feeling
Like shoots that break the frost encrusted earth
Will soon give up the beauty they're concealing
To nature's sun enriched perenial birth
Like the tender grass
That breaks the metalled path
It struggles but won't see the sun
For all the toil it has begun
Until the last melee is won
We think it kind
Romantic and refined
Yet love will play its damndest part
To break the unsuspecting heart
It is more war than art
Chorus:
Exquisite pain of unrequited feeling
Like shoots that break the frost encrusted earth
Will soon give up the beauty they're concealing
To natures sun enriched perenial birth
