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.
