Dreaming of a sky that of a summer night ,
thoughts all clouded by the fairy tales ,
Long shades of the trees in the twilight .
Leaping across the hills and dales ,
I drew my foot across the stream ,
That ran down throught the hills and fields,
And I paused upon that dream ,
of the childhood days ,much yields.
Like a cloud that drifts with my mind ,
far and above the mahagony hills,
As the road to my past unwinds,
into the heart the harmony fills,
with brush strokes of mawkish colors,
through cotton trees and abandoned mills,
I followed upon my footsteps and that of my brother .

As decieved by time and by fate ,
not the least a tear drop the pain ,
But neither me nor them ,nor they ,
could forget the sun,the wind ,the rain .
As the ghosts from the past run down ,
Upon our lifes linking the chains ,
of all that left as a mottley crowd,
what once was known as a in the country lanes ,
where we flocked in the summers crowd ,
As a bunch of toads that ruffled the dames ,
Upon the path of pimpernal fields,
Now fades behind the curtain of pantomime games,
Reaching the stars bridging the seas,
All but carried was the child in me .
who strolls into his past searching for peace ,
And with a seared heart ,still about the summer night dream .
