On a summer night
So long ago
We swam in pools of light
And lay in green together
And we were wandering
And wondering
And it was all so long
So long ago
Then I awoke to find you dreaming in my arms
Stay baby stay with me tonight
That summer night
So long
So long ago

From shimmering sea to mountaintop
I wander but I can't find my way home
No way home
Vs 2
And I guess that we
Weren't meant to last
Lovers in a memory
Forever strange, and new
And I'm lost to you
Like you're lost to me
And I'm up here on this ledge
Trying to find my way back down
J2
See the autumn light
On yellow leaves
In the forest bare
Cross empty squares
Remembering, remembering
That summer night
​
From city street to village green
I feel you passing but you slip on by
You slip away
Slip away
A lot of people wax romantic about the experience of being in love. As I recall it, the euphoria was extreme but short-lived. The aftermath wasn't pretty and lasted much, much longer. Maybe it should be listed in the DSM as some kind of psychosis. It sure makes people crazy.

Hey what you gonna do when the time don't pass?
Do you keep on dreamin' of the day that you're
Free at last?
Free at last!
Of those memories, shining memories,
Poison memories
