Amber summers
The nights of these amber summers captivate me
They lay hold of my passion and keep me until the morning comes
The waves are my solace and I drift on them
Fears and hopes and dreams set free
These amber summers remind me that I don’t need to have a care in the world
I have my water and my moon
The dreary winters leave me empty but these nights bring me to life again
Paint me passionate or soulful
Make me Etta James or Aretha Franklin or Billy Holiday
Give me the heart of Maya Angelo and the love of Mother Theresa
These amber summers keep me warm even on the darkest of days
Lay me down and tell me lies but I can discern them all
I need not the embraces of men or the love of this world
I have my waves and I have my soul
I have my fire and I could walk on beds of burning coals
Because my amber summers are my strength
They lay hold of my passion and keep me until the morning comes
The waves are my solace and I drift on them
Fears and hopes and dreams set free
These amber summers remind me that I don’t need to have a care in the world
I have my water and my moon
The dreary winters leave me empty but these nights bring me to life again
Paint me passionate or soulful
Make me Etta James or Aretha Franklin or Billy Holiday
Give me the heart of Maya Angelo and the love of Mother Theresa
These amber summers keep me warm even on the darkest of days
Lay me down and tell me lies but I can discern them all
I need not the embraces of men or the love of this world
I have my waves and I have my soul
I have my fire and I could walk on beds of burning coals
Because my amber summers are my strength
