Moon Amber Nights

That moon-amber night 
That we fell down in the field
I held you so tight 
That our souls had to yield
You started to shiver 
Like ripples on the river
But our hearts were full 
And we were both so very warm
chorus
v2
The words that you breathed
Were works of passion I craved
Your lovely breast heaved
As the ripe grain stalks waved
The thrush barely sleeping 
River warily seeping
Our hearts were beating
Like two 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
The talk of her father’s farm
v3
Yes we counted every star
Gathered ‘em up 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
chorus
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 now with fever
As our hearts grow dull
I’m to leave your father’s farm
chorus
