BITTERSWEET SUMMER SUITE
Autumn 1981, Bryn Mawr PA

Morning clouds race over the ocean
Wind is breathing through her soft hair
Just one look from her and I'm flying
Summer smiles and she lives there
    She is my Queen...
    And I'm her King

Eyes wide open and my feet running
Raindrop flowers I bring to you
Fat birds singing as I pass by them
Circling in your sky so blue
    You are my Queen...
    My everything

        My friend, my lover and my kin
        With Autumn near I take my leave again
        The old feeling dies; a new one's born
        And it's time to say goodbye...
        Goodbye

Nighttime falls onto me my Highness
Moon tells sleepy sun to go home
One more kiss from you please my darling
Summer yawns and I'm alone
