ALL SUMMER LONG

 ALL SUMMER LONG                 TIM WILLIAMS    AUGUST 2015

I CAN SEE THE TEARDROPS IN THE FLOWER'S EYE'S,
I CAN FEEL THE MAGIC IN MY LOVER'S SMILE,
A CRYING BABY, A LAUGHING CHILD,
AN ORCHARD OF LOVE, A SWEET CARESS,
A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN A SUMMER DRESS,
TAKE EVERYTHING THAT I POSESS,
AND HANG IT ON YOUR FRUITING TREE'S

I LOOK UP AT AN ORANGE MELTING SUN,
THE CLOCK ON THE WALL PICKS TIME UNDONE,
HEART AND CLOCK BOTH PENDULUM,
A CHIME FROM THE CATHEDRAL OF LOVES BELLS,
THE PULL OF THE BELLRINGER'S HEARTSTRING TELLS
A STORY OF THE FLOWER SMELLS AND
TALKS TO ME AND SAY'S " ALL'S WELL ",
WITH THE BEE WHO TOILS ALONE

I DRINK IN THE TEPID SUMMER SONG,
THE FAINT TASTE OF HONEY ALL DAY LONG,
FILLS MY BODY WITH A WARMTH AMONG
LIFES TREASURES IN MY MEMORIES CASKET BOUND,
LIKE THE RIVERS RUNNING SOUL I FOUND,
AS MY FEET TREAD LIGHTLY ON A HARDENED GROUND,
HER SMILING FACE, HER LAUGHTER SOUND,
ALL SUMMER LONG
