That we fell down in the field I held you so tight That our souls had to yield
Bridge You started to shiver Like ripples on the river But our hearts were full And we were so very warm
v2 The words that you breathed Were works of passion I craved Your lovely breast heaved Ripe grain stalks waved
Bridge Thrush barely sleeping River warily seeping Our hearts were beating Like boats in a storm
Chorus We were Brave summer lovers Always off together Scorning the others Interlocked forever We hid in the shadows Made love ‘neath the willows Always riding the storm
v3 Yes we counted every star Gathered like fireflies Stuffed inside a jar Too in love to realize Young hearts will be broken Keep mine as a token But tonight my love We shall not be forlorn
v4 Those moon-amber nights Can last into the winter With all of our might We continue to be tender The cold makes us shiver Burning down with fever Our hearts grow dull I’m to leave your father’s farm
Chorus We were Brave summer lovers Always off together Scorning the others Interlocked forever We hid in the shadows Made love ‘neath the willows Always riding the storm © 2008 Robert Thomson
