lyrics

He chased her through the woods
All morning
She confessed to her past deeds
That afternoon

Across the trails and streams
And in between

The tryst became a crush
An intrepid seed of love
A courting, mating kind of Dance

Her hair a darkened amber
Shone like cabernet through the glass
As the sun
Forged a backlit halo

Whiskey-hued around the edges
All else was just washed out
They tumbled to the ground beneath a hickory

(Under the Tree)
Making love so wild and free
(So free)
They felt the thrill of life rumble and quake
All through their bodies
(Under the Tree)
It was just cold enough
To feel electric in the air
(So free)
They rolled right off the blanket
Into the dirt and leaves

When the fog rolled off the mountains
They rose to the sun again
Rubbed cream on each other's burns
And then they headed back again

Out to the fields
Out to the trails
They wandered free
Remembering!
