the sun had never felt so warm
as on bare feet upon the sand
we lived for backyard make-believe
whirling in circles until we collapsed
our little lives had just begun
we laughed so much our sides split
but summer bleeds into autumn leaves
and those are masked by diamond snow
it seems like it was long ago
tires on cracked macadam spun
freedom always beyond our reach
the days and nights spent side by side
friendships grew with secrets shared
childhood still within our grasp
our dreams flew into the night sky
but summer bleeds into autumn leaves
and those are masked by diamond snow
it seems like it was long ago
sunlight danced like beaded joy
across the wavy water world
it held us all so tightly knit
hands and bodies all just fit
together swirling down the stream
until the world turned into dark,
but summer bleeds into autumn leaves
and those are masked by diamond snow
it seems like it was long ago
long, long ago. |
