Lock & Key

In the long light of early

JulyIn the summer heat he asked me to be his wife

He said, “

Take my hand, and for the rest of my life

I’ll be at your sid

It’s 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 soon

The summer left and came

November clouds

When it all had fallen to the ground

Waiting for the sun to come back around

I’m meant to lift him up not tie him down

I am lost but once was found

Good 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 I’m still here and not afraid

So 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 through

He had my hand and then he set it free

Still got my heart hidden away from me

I can’t walk away,

I won’t let it be

My love is under lock and key

My love is under lock and key

My love’s been hidden away from me
