Pond Life
©Curt Naihersey/Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason) Camaraderie Music BMI / Bonk Zone Music ASCAP
We go rowing round the pond on a beautiful summer day
There’s just the slightest breeze to take the waves of doubt away
We watch the oars create the ripples
We see concentric rings of Life
We hear the wind whisper caution
Yet we could stay out here all night
We see the lights in the distance as the chilly air comes down
We’re lost in the stillness and barely hear a sound
Your hand glides through the water
Your feet rest on my lap
The magic moon has caught us
And we might never sail back
And this is how nature holds us in veneration and awe
There are no words that truly say what feelings should belong
The sky. The air. The pond. The boat.
Two people floating in a world of hope.
We trace the course in borrowed joy
An ecstasy we shape without a chance for choice
