Beneath those sweet summer clouds
Made mountain shadow memories
Chilled—rescinded all vagaries
Beneath those sweet summer clouds
Made mountain shadow memories
Pondered life, love, loss, and then played
Chased butterflies—saw where they stayed
Made mountain shadow memories
Pondered life, love, loss, and then played
Clouds lifted, rays beamed, sun shined
Caged bird sang, no longer confined
Pondered life, love, loss, and then played
Clouds lifted, rays beamed, sun shined
Truths unveiled by wandering clouds
Spoke parables nature enshrouds
Clouds lifted, rays beamed, sun shined
Beneath those sweet summer clouds
Made mountain shadow memories
Chilled—rescinded all vagaries
Beneath those sweet summer clouds
