Summer in a corn field
learning about love.
Two kids coming of age
Under the afternoon sun.
She was warm, and wild, and willing,
I was young and hard and lean.
It wasn't exactly love
It was never meant to be.
We both went our own way,
living our own dreams.
But sometimes when I'm sleeping
you come back to me.
Through the corn fields of my mind,
We wander one more time.
You were warm, and wild, and willing,
I was young, and hard, and lean.
And we make love in memories,
we make love in dreams.
I wake and I wonder,
do you ever wonder of me?
Do you ever revisit the corn fields
of our childhood memories?
Do you ever wake and wonder,
Whatever became of me?
I wonder what became of you!
So this isn't about any one particular girl more an amalgam of girls I've crossed paths with. Who live on only in memories, some cherished, some fleeting.
