Maple Sighs

Where the maple sighs By the river’s sound We spoke of love As the night came down Now that maple’s gone Mist drifts through the field And our love passed by Like a dream unreal Like a dream Like a dream Like a dream it passed us by My heart feels the ache For the way things end Autumn drives away The cranes’ last friend To the four strong winds I’ll throw this sad tune Summer won’t come back Not for me, not soon Not come back Not come back Summer won’t come back to us There’s no use to chase Where you want to go There’s no use to give Flowers — just for show You couldn’t keep All the love I gave Grass grows now upon Where we used to brave Grass grows high Grass grows high Where we met, the place is gone
