Summer Song

Do you believe that summer is a mystery?

It's a time outside of time, a secret bird so swiftly by

And would you agree that we are also a mystery?

Just as fleeting and divine, like sparks that left the fire for the sky

I filled my heart with the best things of summer

With sunshine and with wild flowers, but I could not keep them close to me

Oh Summer, oh Summer! How I clung to your sweetness!

You were a thousand golden roses! I couldn't bear to watch you fade

With the sunset behind me, heartache chased me across the mountains

pushed me deep into the wilderness, to be empty and alone for a time
