Never had a clue what would come my way
Into the forest I did stray
Only companion was a flag of ale
Wandering in to the forest deep
Weary that I was I collapsed in heap
Closing my eyes did I go to sleep
Suddenly I froze with a sense of disbelief
Who was that the standing there
Before me a lady with auburn hair
Blinded by the mid-sun glare
All I could do was gaze and stare
A summer's tale?
Beckoning me with a twinkling eye
I rose to my feet I was hypnotized
To this very day I don't know why
Simply addicted by her enchanting smile
I was lead down a path to this magic place
Her beauty was divine but I can't recall her face
She flavoured well my primal tastes
All day long till the sunlight fades
Sapped my strength till I couldn't go on
Never believed I could last so long
A kiss, a goodbye and then she was gone
Bewildered, I reflected had I done wrong?
A summer's tale!
I returned to the forest everyday
Never told a soul about what came my way
The strangest thing of this summers tale
Was it reality, or was it the ale?
Went for a walk on summers day Never had a clue what would come my way Into the forest I did stray Only companion was a flag of ale Wandering in to the forest deep Weary that I was I collapsed in heap Closing my eyes did I go to sleep Suddenly I froze with a sense of disbelief Who was that the standing there Before me a lady with auburn hair Blinded by the mid-sun glare All I could do was gaze and stare A summer's tale? Beckoning me with a twinkling eye I rose to my feet I was hypnotized To this very day I don't know why Simply addicted by her enchanting smile I was lead down a path to this magic place Her beauty was divine but I can't recall her face She flavoured well my primal tastes All day long till the sunlight fades Sapped my strength till I couldn't go on Never believed I could last so long A kiss, a goodbye and then she was gone Bewildered, I reflected had I done wrong? A summer's tale! I returned to the forest everyday Never told a soul about what came my way The strangest thing of this summers tale Was it reality, or was it the ale? Explain Request ×
