Lyrics

The Veil Of Summer
What of this veil of summer fair Beautiful bronze boys and girls Emanating heat and more
In the softly sultry air
What of this veil of summer now Carnal nights and lingering days Do we know any other season So manifest, so frail somehow
What of this veil of summer true
Deepest blues and verdant greens
Giving way to the scarlet and gold of autumn Then winter’s grip devoid of hue
What of this veil of summer then Fleeting as a falling star
Furtive as a lover’s glance
We pray to live to see again
What of this veil of summer gone For time does pass with little care And no regard for man nor woman Nor the final breath we take alone
What of this veil of summer fair
