Persephone – Green and Grey

Written for and dedicated to my beloved brother F on the renewal of his vows

Walk with me and take my hand
And I’ll step you through the seasons on a tour Grande
Spring and Summer Autumn and through winter too
Such secrets that I hold and I’ll share them all with you

Walk with me and let’s go right now
We can open up this door I will show you how
It may not seem so now but I’m offering you a choice
You can remain silent or you can find your voice

Persephone you whispered Persephone
That’s what you called when you first encountered me
You wanted truth and knowledge you wanted to be free
So I held out my hand and I drew you to me

Walk with me through the realms I love
The one that’s down below and the one that’s up above
Take a look around and tell me what you see
Tear that veil from your eyes and such visions are released

Walk with me through the darkest depths
You think you’ve hit the bottom but you haven’t been there yet
No matter how far you fall I always will be there
Just hold out your hand and you’ll know how much I care

I remember long ago when I was like you were then
All young and innocent till he snatched me from my mother’s heart
Just like I snatched you from yours
When you whispered

Persephone you whispered Persephone
That’s what you called when you first encountered me
You wanted truth and knowledge you wanted to be free
So I held out my hand and I drew you to me

So walk with me and take my hand
And I’ll step you through the seasons on a tour Grande
Spring and Summer Autumn and through winter too
Such secrets that I hold and I’ll share them all with you

Walk with me and let’s go right now
We can open up this door I will show you how
It may not seem so now but I’m offering you a choice
You can remain silent or you can find your voice

Persephone you whispered Persephone
That’s what you called when you first encountered me
You wanted truth and knowledge you wanted to be free
So I held out my hand and I drew you to me
