to play down by the water
When the spring was in the tide
And we ran down side by side
Those games are sweet collisions,
letter kisses like wet sand
I try to hold a springtime back,
In time I stood beside the harbor
Just to watch the gulls in flight
And there were girls so full of summer
They couldn't sleep at night
They move so right by the kettles,
they let their shadows fall
I close my eyes against the sun,
for I couldn't see at all
Till the day I die, let the motion carry me
East wind is blowing stronger,
the days are getting short
The summer boats turn their heads round,
You keep me if you could my love,
you keep the world from harm
On empty sands we'd walk and walk together,
Till the day I die, let the motion carry me
