Temptation
by
Thomas Granger
Flowers grow, the garden sweet, blossoming in rows
Planted here in times of bliss, before
Hours gone in pardon meet this awesome wind that blows
To find out what the winter keeps in store
Bought out of the ending, time leaves me standing still
Wondering about the summer sun
There isn't any question as you know I can and will
Be in time to show you, you're the one
I've been fighting with my conscience over weather I decide
Making my own comfort all the way
You do not have to worry now as all the things I hide
Could not make you go or make you stay
Gone through all the hard times, coming to the place we are
Finding that the ending still begins
Prosperity enlightens me but does not pay so far
Any ways a loser never wins
Taken down the pathway of life I do resign
Waken to the sound of rustling leaves
Lying to myself no longer helps me to feel fine
For I'm the only one that it deceives
