Lyrics Originally by Jo Neale - Persephone

When the leaves fall from the trees,
I know that you must go.
So, while you are away my love.
I'll cover the earth with snow.
The wind will blow with the icy breath.
Each day while we're apart.
But, thought of Spring and of your return,
Is safe inside my heart.
Persephone, Persephone, I'll know that you will return to me, Persephone, Persephone, my love...Persephone, Persephone, I'll know that you will return to me,
Persephone, Persephone, my love.
...
I´ll rule alone over the dead
here deep under the ground
And wait for your return my love
to the place where you are bound

For all eternity my sweet
I´ll wait six months for you
For I know well that my real wish
shall never once come true
Persephone, Persephone, I'll know you will return to me, Persephone, Persephone, my love...Persephone, Persephone, I'll know you will return to me,
Persephone, Persephone, my love.

I bring the the spring, the summer heat,
green trees and the blue skies
but down below my true love
and darkest kingdom lie

between my maker and my love
I´ll be forever torn
At no place long I can remain
or everyone´s forlorn
Persephone, Persephone, I'll know you will return to me, Persephone, Persephone, my love...Persephone, Persephone, I'll know you will return to me,
Persephone, Persephone, my love.
