Lock & Key

In the long light of early July In 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
