SUMMER LOVE

SUMMER LOVE

Long blond hair eyes like a raven

Your love was all I was cravin

As I watched you dance by the water

Short summer dress flowers in you hair

You danced like you didn’t have a care

Didn’t think it would get any hotter.

We held hands walking by the shoreline

For that summer you were mine

I was hoping that it would never end

We ran alone as it started to rain

Drunk on whiskey and feeling no pain

Trying to get out of the driving wind.

We feel asleep holding to each other

I thought there would be another

And then the night turned into day

We woke up to the morning sun

As you laid with your dress undone

Holding you and nothing I could say.

Now the years have slowly gone by

Sometimes I look at the sky

And remember making love on the cool ground

Those days are gone you went away

Nothing I could do to make you stay

You left without making a sound.
