Lock & Key

In the long light of early July
 In the summer heat he asked me to be his wife
 He said, "Take my hand, and for the rest of my life
 I'll be at your sid
 It's you and me in the by and by."
 He said long have you been a bud in bloom
 With sun kissed blush and ivory croon
 So let the wind whip the green grass into dunes
 My love for you runs through and through
 Forever cannot come too soon
 The summer left and came November clouds
 When it all had fallen to the ground
 Waiting for the sun to come back around
 I'm meant to lift him up not tie him down
 I am lost but once was found
 Good times they came and went away
 By and by we began to fray
 And it was clear to see
 That he had swayed
 That first summer seemed so far away
 But I'm still here and not afraid
 So we whipped the green grass whips to juice
 Forever stayed out of view
 My ivory skin still croons
 My love for him goes through and through
 He had my hand and then he set it free
 Still got my heart hidden away from me
 I can't walk away, I won't let it be
 My love is under lock and key
 My love is under lock and key
 My love's been hidden away from me
