The Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter (Video Version)
The trick
is to see the world for what it is
And love it anyway
Love it
Anyway
Scenes so cloistered
So close
The drive
Somewhere so far
So distant
It was her house
In the corner Blue Velvet played
That means something
Somewhere
Meanwhile winter
Is so hazy
As Persephone
Emerges from a cave
Of her own creation
As he so ready to play
Against gods
Who already know the future
For little more than the heated touch
Of impassioned lips
Burning
Beliving
That for a moment
You were more
Than you thought
You were
The hidden press
Touch
The rise
Swell
Longing
Greeting
The touch
Of the other
Thoughts of love
Consummated
On so little
The trick
as always
Is to see the world for what it is
And love it anyway
