There Is a Summer

There is a summer
come along on windtide
weaving through the reeds
return like an old friend

Bags and beachtowels in the trunk
there is a summer
port town postcards always
too little room to tell

Winding round a mountain road
down through Bobcat Pass again
there is a summer
waving for the camera

Once then in the cool night
you took my hand
as we watched the birds fly home
there is a summer gone
