Through the long days of summer Where the air was a as perfume We walked through the golden meadows And danced by the light the moon
She was a lonely angel Sitting by the side of the road On the edge of the forest That's the wild things grow
Blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise down on us is so sweet with a strawberry girl
In her hands was a basket Sticks and branches were woven as one She bright like a child As bright as the sun
It was filled with her treasures A whole cradle of nature's beauty Wild flowers were chosen To lay amongst the forest berries
It's great day for a gatherer You can that I told you so In these uncertain days It's the simple things you need the most
