THE SUMMER ECHOES ON AND ON
Beach wave in my heart
The tide rises then splits apart
Faces fade in the memory sand
Time slips between my fingers and hands
I heard a song from the distant past
Upon the shore when the water splashed
The sea wall clapped with great applause
A nearby lighthouse signaled then paused
The summer echoes on and on
The summer echoes on and on
The summer echoes on and on
The summer echoes on
Teenage lust ran through my veins
Hopeful love with an open embrace
Walking miles along endless shore
Mind full of music with songs that endure
Poetic cries of children at play
The amusement park screams without delay
Developers took them all away
And left a hole in my heart today
The summer echoes on and on
The summer echoes on and on
The summer echoes on and on
The summer echoes on
In lotus pose with mind at ease
Breathing time through life’s journey
Conjuring thoughts, emotions, and stories
From a season reigned in ultimate glory
Look to the sky look to the ground
Into the ocean to depths profound
Hanging moments as fruit from a vine
The base of life at the cord of a spine
The summer echoes on and on
The summer echoes on and on
The summer echoes on and on
The summer echoes on
