CHASING SUMMER

Written by : J.R HILTON 2015

AS I LOOK UP AT THE SKY
PUFFY CLOUDS ARE FLOATING BY
SEASONS CHANGING TO SOMETHING WARM
SHAKE OF WINTERS CHILL YOU TO THE BONE
PROMISES OF SUMMER HERE ALWAYS BENDS MY EAR
 AS TIME GOES BY LIKE ITS ALWAYS DONE
GETS  ME ON THE MOVE,  ON THE RUN
ANYWHERE AS LONG, AS ITS IN THE SUN

GROUNDED AS I AM, I'M STILL BOUND TO WATER AND FIRE
AT THE MERCY OF SUMMERS DESIRE
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN LOOKING DOWN
HOPE I NEVER FALL, HOPE YOU REMAIN BESIDE ME, AND ON MY SIDE
CAUGHT BETWEEN FIFTY FIFTY SEVEN AND FIFTY NINE
I CAN IF I AM SO INCLINED
CHASING SUMMER IS LIKE SIFTING SAND IN AN HOURGLASS
IN THE LAND OF THE MAPLE LEAF
SUNSHINE LIKE GOLD, WATER THAT SHINES
AS IT MAKES ITS WAY TO THE SEA
AND ITS LAUGHING AT ME
LOSING TIME SPINNING BY
GAINING MOMENTUM AS SEASONS CHANGE
SPREAD OUT LIKE SUNSHINE
TASTE LIKE SUMMER RAIN
THAT OLD FAMILIAR FEELING 
PASSING THROUGH ME AGAIN

**

DO HAVE A GOOD DAY
A PLEASANT EVE
AND SUMMERS LESS THAN FIVE MONTHS AWAY
