ebony eyes


snippets of daydreams when we were so young
when promises meant a lot out in the sun
when shadows were rare and kisses were free
when we danced in the moonlight just you and me

the pastures were rich and the cockerel did crow
the little dog barked and they put on a show
the tractor rolled onwards as the farmer did sing
when the rivers were fresh on the first day of spring

i remember your smile then as you ran oer the stream
the sound of your laughter was a site to be seen
the fishes did leap and the trees they did sway
when i held you so close till the end of the day

your bonny frame fortune was gifted for me
when you swang on the swing o'er the lea
the sun did a dance and the daisies were spread
when we were both children and so easily led

the orchards were rich with fruit on their boughs
the blossoms were fragrant and the milk from the cows
the farmyard was muddy and you a sight for sore eyes
how i wish i had known you then my ebony eyes
