Living All of It

Those carefree days of summer 
running in the fields with my woman.
Will it ever happen or is it just a dream?
If only money came easy, 
how soon I would have her released!
She locked away in that cold prison
and me longing every minute for her 
to be free and with me.
How long has it been?  
Spring turned to summer and 
summer turned to fall and then winter.
Spring came again followed by summer,
and now fall.
How weary and old I've grown
waiting for my woman.  
Will there be another winter
or another spring or summer or fall?
I surely hope not!
But let my love come to me soon,
ere I die away, never to know the 
kisses from her sweet lips!

You'd like "The Fields of Athenry", an Irish folk song. My woman waits for me, usually with a roller pin in her hand. Vince
