Two Weeks Last Summer

The dancing flames grow low

Burning embers start to glow

Pictures soon will fade

Pictures that the flames have made

Your hazy wistful face

Suddenly is gone without a trace.

Summer days all float downstream,

Wondering where the day has been

Boats that sail away at night

Come the day have sailed far out of sight.

Reminiscing, summer walks

Empty glances, moonlit talks

[Promises that mean so much

Broken with a single touch/

Candy floss and ice cream cones

Discotheques and Rolling Stones]

Passing fancies fly away

Empty shadows on a sunlit bay.

Summer days all float downstream,

Wondering where the day has been

Boats that sail away at night

Come the day have sailed far out of sight.

[Deserted evenings warm and still

Strangers come and go at will

Driftwood on the silent shore

Laughter from an open door.

Friendly faces once again

Come inside before it starts to rain.]

Summer days all float downstream,

Wondering where the day has been

Boats that sail away at night

Come the day have sailed far out of sight.
