It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from
time to time.

Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us...
But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion - I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall.

Led Zeppelin's 'The Rain Song', written by Robert Plant. Just couldn't resist this after today's downpour.... Its one of the rare songs to use the D-G-d-g-b-d open g tuning, so dont try to play this on a normal guitar. Originally written after George Harrison, a huge fan of Zeppelin complained to John Bonham that Zeppelin doesn't do any ballads. If anybody out there hasn't heard this song, I pity you....
