Dance the Day Away - Collaboration With Chris Green

We dance the day away Because we want So much to do but sun outside is shining And nonchalant Instead of work we play Beneath these skies of blue Spinning around Becoming dizzy from the whirling scene Finding the ground Nothing better to do Just little critters see How trampled grass Is mattress for our nature loving lust The day will pass Between just you and me For when the day does end Tangerine beams Will color the wavering horizon Watercolor dreams To slumber now will send *** May 30, 2017 Copyright © Chris Green and Darren White

Thank you. We upped the difficulty level a bit by creating a strange rhyme and rhythm :) Glad you enjoy it.
