Garden Mist

Falstaff · Apr 17, 2006, 01:53 PM

The rain fell slow and steady as the warm mist began to rise

past the garden gate I see the water dripping down the honysuckle vines.

I can smell the earth and I can feel the moisture and I have to close my eyes.

I remember a girl from Louisiana, and sweet memories start to fill my mind.

A stranger to the magnolia and the weeping willow and the dark red clay

I couldnt help but see her golden soft skin against a passionette sky

I walked hand in hand with her down quiet easy lanes on warm sunny days.

I told her I couldnt stay and we held each other as long as we could, she never asked why.

And now when I hear the rain falling down on the soft summer grass

My heart is torn from the present and I yearn for that yesterday and her sweet kiss.

I wish just once I could taste again, what I knew would never last

The tender lips of the sweetest girl I can recall, her memory lingers in the garden mist.
