Lyrics
The Height of Summer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the morning I went down to the beach
and gazed out to the sea
Suddenly I was only a leaf
and you were an ancient flower
When I'm away do you think of me
or is it only when I'm present
on the cliff I lay my head down
now where the sun is
How is Charles
I haven't heard from him for a long long time
A thousand years seem to pass
So quickly
We wash our hands in water
and we rub them with the cloth
I have an idea what comes after
what will happen when I'm gone
Along the coastline we sow some seeds
It is lemon it is mint
Then the buzzing cicadas
rock us to sleep
How is Charles
I haven't heard from him for a long long time
A thousand years seem to pass
So quickly
