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

Reminiscing, summer walks
Empty glances, moonlit talks
Promises that mean so much
Broken with the single touch
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
