WHEN THE SUMMER EVENING FALLS

 

When the summer evening falls

The melodic nightingale calls

This is also the lover’s time

And the perpetrators of crime

Then at the passing of the night

Lovers take cover criminals take flight

I WALKED HAND IN HAND WITH YOU

I walked hand in hand with you

Down a country lane just we two

In a land of a green and pleasant hue

Over a bridge where the kingfisher flew

Through woods full of telltale bells of blue

Across a field wet with morning dew

Climbed a hill amidst lamb and ewe

To a perfect spot with an unspoilt view

Where we could be alone just, we two

Hold each other’s hand and bill and coo
