Among the trees I have lain and passed my golden days, Among the trees I have spent all my summers in a haze of lazy afternoons, watching all the rain, as it patterns the verandah, then disappears again. Come the sun... How I wish I could return to those summers once again, How I wish I could just sit in the presence of a friend, Making music or just listening to the birds so far from sight, Watching as the dark shades of evening turn to night. Gone the sun... Among the trees I have lain and passed my golden days, Among the trees I have spent all my summers in a haze of lazy afternoons, watching all the rain, as it patterns the verandah, then disappears again. Gone the sun...
