In the long light of early July
In the summer heat he asked me to be his wife
He said, Take my hand, and for the rest of my life
Ill be at your sid
Its you and me in the by and by.He said long have you been a bud in bloom
With sun kissed blush and ivory croon
So let the wind whip the green grass into dunes
My love for you runs through and through
Forever cannot come too soonThe summer left and came November clouds
When it all had fallen to the ground
Waiting for the sun to come back around
Im meant to lift him up not tie him down
I am lost but once was foundGood times they came and went away
By and by we began to fray
And it was clear to see
That he had swayed
That first summer seemed so far away
But Im still here and not afraidSo we whipped the green grass whips to juice
Forever stayed out of view
My ivory skin still croons
My love for him goes through and throughHe had my hand and then he set it free
Still got my heart hidden away from me
I cant walk away, I wont let it be
My love is under lock and key
My love is under lock and key
My loves been hidden away from me
