Long ago, we each had a role to play
Temptation and seduction, like a movie without script
We improvise because we were so young
And the nights lasted that much longer
We are grateful for every second of darkness outside
Outside the perfectly manicured gardens
The cool grasses cover the midnight doom
Soaking into the jeans and t-shirts
We kick their shoes off
And run into lakes
And laugh and breathe and sing and manure
Beyond the shadow of doubt
That no one in the world had ever felt the way we ever did
No one on this planet knew the secret of love
The feel of wet grass under bare feet on the summer nights
We watch the moon, and she watched us
And she promise to keep our secrets, brief and full
In beds of flowers bursting with color, our young bodies are there
Not yet know what it means to be inhibited
Skin like paddles, soft and fragrant
The trees shuffling their branches in the private tense
Only we can hear the music, lips whisper and tangle
So new and yet ancient, tasting like life itself, fresh and true and hungry
We rolled and turned with the earth spinning beneath us
Air is so sweet, sweet with jealousy
As we track our youth and those nights
Now so far and omen so near
Not a single summer passes without reminiscence
The trees still dance and moon still glows
And year right you, this billed off and passed down
Or our hearts grow older
And darkness no longer holds the same magic
We grow and grow, a greater distance between us
Though you will always remain with me
A fresh memory recall only summer nights
On the scent of flower of first bloom
Still brings your name to my lips
Still brings your name to my lips
