Oh I wish that I could stay with you
At the lake beyond the woods
Where our love woke up in the quiet night
And your sister's children stood
With our shining eyes, they would never guess
That we couldn't get along
It could only sing of summer
But our days would not be long
Be long
Day of summer be long
Be long
Night of spring be long
I don't know what you'd say to me baby to make this sound like a love song
I don't know what you'd say to me baby to make this sound like a love song
I remember now, what you said to me
At the house beyond the woods
If the water rose to the window sill
Would you swim me out to shore
So behind our love grew a hurricane
The leaves began to fall
In the dead of night I held
But our days would not be long
Be long
Day of summer be long
Be long
Night of spring be long
I don't know what you'd say to me baby to make this sound like a love song
Here it comes, like a storm blowing cold
It'll take us back where we came from
I don't know what you'd say to me baby to make this sound like a love song
Here it comes, like a storm blowing cold
It'll take us back where we came from
I don't know what you'd say to me baby to make this sound like a love song
Here it comes, like a storm blowing cold
It'll take us back where we came from
I don't know what you'd say to me baby to make this sound like a love song
Here it comes, like a storm blowing cold
It'll take us back where we came from
(I don't know what to say
Wind will blow us far away
I don't know what to say
Wind will blow us far away)
