lyrics

Days too short, nights too cold
no buds in barren ground
Sun hangs low, shadows long
when you are not around

We searched the fields, searched the hills
But you could not be found
He stole you in his chariot
kept you underground

Persephone, come back to me
oh why’d you have to leave
Persephone, come back to me
can’t you see I grieve

I pleaded Hades give you back
but he would pay no heed
I pleaded Zeus, a father’s right
but you had ate the seed

So these dark months of winter pass
you buried underground
Until the rising narcissus
heralds your return

Persephone, come back to me
oh why’d you have to leave
Persephone come back to me
can’t you see I grieve
