Lyrics

Close in Love

Lovely Linda, sweet companion
Now the sunlight covers all of you
And me, beside the fluffy cherry tree
A southern wind that gives the leaves a silent shiver
A skylark climbing through the air in spiral thrills
Here by the banks of Lonely River

And do you really think that we should be close in love
Undoubtful it looks, for the rest of the day, now
Until the evening rain comes pouring down
It really seems that, indeed, you and I share a common dream
That is made of summer's green, with scones and wine here by the river
If you'd like I could tell a tale from scratch
When the nightingales did catch
A blue nocturnal song of wrestling
From the miller's window hatch

Come and be my outstretched pal
Lay your head in the soft, green grass with me
My sweet, lovely gal
Look at the clouds in the sky
How they arrive and depart as time goes by

And do you really think that we should be close in love
Undoubtful it looks, for the rest of the day, now
Until the evening rain comes pouring down
It really seems that, indeed, you and I share a common dream
That is made of summer's grass, with scones and wine here by the river
If you'd like I could tell a tale from scratch
When the nightingales did catch
A happy song of wrestling
From the sailor's window hatch

The clouds do look like a caravan of trains
Or sheep in ferry boats
That search for brighter shores
Which turn to fluffy plains
With wheat and country roads and darker lanes
Before they burn like pirate's ships and lighthouse spreading rays
In time before the sunny afternoon decays

And do you really think that we should be close in love
Undoubtful it looks, for the rest of the day, now
Until the evening rain comes pouring down
It really seems that, indeed, you and I share a common dream
That is made of summer's green, with scones and wine here by the river
If you'd like I could tell a tale from scratch
When the blackbirds eyes did catch
A sweet rhythm of wrestling
From the farmer's window hatch
