It's been planted there under the trees.
You may call it Love in Idleness or Wild Pansy
But I give it the name Heart's Ease.
Now summer's passing and its colours are fading
As a cold autumn wind blows the leaves to the ground.
Love don't die easy though the earth may be freezing
As bitter the world it turns round.
chorus:
Love don't die easy, she don't die easy
Though flowers fade in the morning dew.
The seeds she planted in my heart's garden
Lie quiet in the earth below,
Love don't die easy love, for me and you.
Don't take the nectar from my eyelids
I want to love everything I see.
This magic potion breaks down barriers
Between us and them, between you and me.
I want to live the eternal truth
That life is lived within this Dream.
Our shapes may shift, our names may change.
Still things can't just be what they seem.
chorus:
Love don't die easy (etc)
I'd rather have flowers that fade in my garden
Than have no flowers at all.
The dew that waters the blossoming roses
Turns to frost in the fall.
Time doesn't heal, it festers,
Unless we betray not our heart.
Love's not bounded by anything
However long we're apart.
chorus:
Love don't die easy (etc)
Seasons that change come round again
Summer and autumn, winter and spring.
Moons wax and wane, day turns to night,
And flowers in my garden blossoming.
All life is in motion,
A dance of the hours.
Forward and back,
The fading of flowers.
chorus:
Love don't die easy (etc)

Note: This is a work in progress.
No tune has been composed as yet and when it has,
the words will probably change as they are fitted to the melody.
The sentiments are unlikely to change (though never say never).
