about

I recorded this in my home studio on Logic Pro. This is the version that served as a scratch track when Jeff Bohnhoff and I were working on what would eventually become the polished "Remember Mister" on the album "Scattering Seeds on the Pomegranate Tour."
A watercolor perspective of love, life, and death through the seasons

lyrics

Remember Mister
Copyright 2009 by Mary Crowell

Verse
Remember Mister, when you court her,
It’s getting cold. The days are shorter.
I’m having trouble painting rainbows –
My palette’s gone to gray;
So little left of day,
And Winter’s coming for your vain rose.

[Instrumental Interlude]

Verse
Some people like to blame the season
Ask why their lovers’ hearts are freezin’.
The shadows here are growing stronger.
The artist sees at noon
That night is coming soon.
We’re only here a little longer.

Chorus:
Gather up your rosebuds,
and enjoy your day!
Scatter all the petals behind.
The pinks and blues of summer
will be going away –
They flee the winter, unkind.

Verse
I think I’ll take a little nap here.
I’m waiting for the spring to snap, dear.
It’s just the outlines I’ve been inking
But colors run and fade;
They flee before the shade.
The ruddy sun outside is sinking.

[Instrumental Interlude]

Chorus

Verse
The spring is cruel and not forgiving,
But still she lets me know I’m living.
Remind myself when it is colder
It’s important that we learn
That summer will return
And just as warm when we are older.

Reprise First Verse

Winter’s coming for your vain rose.
Winter’s coming for your vain rose.
