Yesterday
Yesterday,
I wandered lonely hillsides in the rain
In search of morning sunshine
I saw a hawk fly through the rain clouds.
It landed in the hickory tree.
Brother sun tried to come out of hiding,
But the rain clouds chased him away.
I remember once I saw you standing
On the hillside in the rain.
Your hair was wet,
It framed your face with dagger points
And drops of sweet fresh rain.
The sun tried to shine that day, too
I saw a rainbow in your eyes.
But maybe only lovers see rainbows
Where they shouldn't be.
Do you remember walking barefoot
Through the stream,
The gold and silver fishes
Brushing against our toes?
I could have sworn
You were a gypsy king.
I saw it in your eyes
Along with warm familiar love.
