among the trees i have lain and passed my golden days among the trees i have spent all my summers in a haze of lazy afternoons watching all the rain as it patterns the verandah then disappears again come the sun how i wish i could return to those summers once again how i wish i could just sit in the presence of a friend making music or just listening to the birds so far from sight watching as the dark shades of evening turn to night gone the sun among the trees i have lain and passed my golden days among the trees i have spent all my summers in a haze of lazy afternoons watching all the rain as it patterns the verandah then disappears again gone the sun
