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
