I talked to you in fullness of heart
that summer of long ago
you've forgotten and stood apart
I'm now someone you hardly know

we vowed to save the world
usher in a new era--you and I
together in those days of sunshine
where are you? You wouldn't even walk by

we hardly walked a mile
and you turned away--didn't try
to abide by what we set out to do
I was left alone weary and dry

your own flagstaff is all over city and town
among the elite--your name is praised sky-high
I recall that summer of long ago
in silence and desolation I cry.
