In The Orchard 2011 - Nick 13

Under the evening stars i walk

The smell of cool, damp earth beneath my feet

On a summer night, In the Orchard

My car is parked down, side of the road

Over the mountain, a red moon glows

Soon the summer will be over, In the Orchard

I’ve been to this place so many times

Down roads and rows of dreams in my mind

I’m walking through the trees, In the Orchard

Still I see it, when I close my eyes

When sleep’s about to come after a restless night

I go there in my dreams, Back to the Orchard

The seasons of my life, I watched them pass

The blossoms of spring fall, leaving only winter’s naked branch

I remember you and me, In the Orchard

As the days of youth, slip farther from my grasp

Still it haunts me, like a song i can’t forget

And now frost covers the ground, In the Orchard

And when the spark of life is almost gone

The seasons slow then stop, and I’ll see spring no more

It calls me into forever, In the Orchard

The seasons of my life, I watch them pass

The blossoms

Of spring fall, leaving only winter’s naked branch;

Into forever…

In the Orchard
