Days of Green and Blue
I guess I thought they'd never end--
Our days of green and blue,
When every crystal dawning
Was something fresh and new.
We loved and laughed the time away,
Two kindred spirits, we.
I guess I never thought, back then,
That summer's end could be.
But no season lasts forever;
The autumn leaves must fall.
And kindred spirits say goodbye,
When evening shadows fall.
And now, as I experience
These days of brown and gray,
My lonely spirit's longing for
The one who flew away.
