Harvest Your Thoughts of Love

Your love was like a child
Upon a rockin' horse
The colour black who rides
Through a forest of dreams and laughs
At the evils that cannot be seen

Yet like the ageing of a child at play
Your love is broken and fades away
And borne in the wind are the seeds
That burn in the hearts
Of boys a-passing your way

When the first day's light has dawned
You wake to find your troubles gone
Then love only life as it grows
And trust every flower
But not the red, red rose

Spread your wings and fly, my love
Dance upon the clouds above
Harvest your thoughts of love
