I stared into that burning wood   It was hypnotizing   The mood all around seemed to treat me good   And the moon was rising      And the moist breeze seemed to curl her hair   I was realizing   This butterfly could take me there   But she left me in hiding      So I used a summer to break her fall   And I saw the spring leave me   Gave it up and I sold it all   For her love, my darling    A year for love for nothing      Underneath that blanket of stars   The fire was ever blinding   I thought she would never fade far   But she left me in finding      So I used a summer to break her fall   And I saw the spring leave me   Gave it up and I sold it all   For her love, my darling    A year for love for nothing      Into her eyes I could not speak   Of my longing   In the words less passed it stirred in me   And left me pining      So I used a summer to break her fall   And I saw the spring leave me   Gave it up and I sold it all   For her love, my darling    A year for love for nothing    Gave it up and I sold it all   A year for love for nothing?   No, that year of love was something
