Even Life's Blessings Die

verse 1
April winds gave me demons to wrestle
Hope fell to the ground like dying rose pedals
Rivers of pain carried my happiness to oceans
From the highest peaks my ambitions were roaming (but I know)

chorus
Every song we sang makes me remember
There's a light in the dark like a star in december
This pain's been the northern star in my life
Leading me to believe even life's blessings die

verse 2
Leaves that were golden will soar to the ground
Beautiful sunsets will fade away and drown
Surrendering to the moon and the stars in the sky
Life's beauty isn't forever, I don't know why but I know

concluding verse
Living with your memory is a seed in the ground
Time only makes it grow bigger I've found
there won't be a day where your memory won't provide
Me with the knowledge, even life's blessings die
