White Lies

Friendships forged in summer heat Listen as the wild hearts beat When reluctant sunset steeps Young folks slip away Barefoot fools with tousled hair Over dunes where lies no care Spirits downed with more to spare Shadows on display Nervous hearts by flames that dance Only sparks will take a chance Hoping she will catch your glance Shyly turns away Honesty will come to bare When a glance returns a stare On the painter's palette where The reds and oranges play In the darkness secrets fade Sacred knots lie taut and frayed Climbing cliffs of red with knowing eyes When the sea begins to sigh She might take you by surprise White lies rise like smoke in summer skies Embers glow along the beach Floating to the highest reach Courage comes when evening breeze Whips them to a blaze Lovers look upon the sea From the battered balcony Watching waves gain bravery Feeling much the same In the darkness secrets fade Sacred knots lie taut and frayed Climbing cliffs of red with knowing eyes When the sea begins to sigh She might take you by surprise White lies rise like smoke in summer skies Sticking to their alibis Racing home before sunrise White lies rise like smoke in summer skies
