The Garden

We've been sleeping in the garden Breath of summer, breath of gold As we turn against the sweep of hills The sky's aglow We fade away We fade away She burns away in light and silver Luminous through all these years Every gesture filled with longings I still feel We fade away We fade away We fade away We fade away I see you standing in the long light Dress discarded, windows glow All across the wild horizons The sunset goes We fade away We fade away We fade away We fade away
