Eugene R. Mariani - A Melancholy Afternoon lyrics

Steeple chimes toll medieval hymns... Snowflakes drift chaotically past Windows dressed in layers of frost. A solitary plane drones westward As clouds crowd concrete gray skies. Sighing mournfully, the wind Wanders through nude ginkgo trees Swirling forgotten leaves in January eddies. Bundled figures scurry quickly Seeking hearth, home and heart. Thoughts turn to long hidden memories Of another time... Another place... Another January... Another snowfall.
