Chantille/Who Are You?
© 2009 Alan Kim Cochran

The winter wind blows cold and gray
Come again some other day
‘Seems as if it’s here to stay
And sorrow, ever after

Chantille was mine, and I was hers
Thistles, thorns and cockleburs!
But by the winter… cold, interred
And sorrow, ever after

She was only seventeen
‘Velvet flower, in the spring
Only death, could come between… us
No happy, ever afters

“Who are…
Who are you?
To say that you… understand?
When you can’t even tell the sea from the sand?”

Do, do, do…

The winter wind blows cold and gray
Come again some other day
‘Seems as if it’s here to stay
And sorrow, ever after
No happy, ever afters
Just sorrow, ever after…
