you came to me in a summer haze
I really liked your gypsy style
your hair was silky and your lips were smooth
you had quite an innocent smile
and you led me off to a murky pond
showed me the beauty of the breeze
we spent the night interwtined
underneath magnolia trees
we rode a horse to a sugar hill
where your sweet eyes glistened and gleamed
spent the night naming stars
and speaking of our dreams
and when we woke in the morning dew
I felt so alive
I remember getting lost on some northern road
and holding you in the rain
I lost my car, and we lost our minds
but our loyalty remained
and I'll never forget that mournful night
when your Italian cousin died
you came to me with a face full of pain
fell in my arms and cried
you went away in a summer haze
never even said goodbye
I'm sitting neath the stars we named
just wondering why
I want to thank you for sticking with me
when a push became a shove
I give to you a yellow rose
for your countless bales of love
