Verse 1

By the pond where the cattails lean,

You hum a tune through the dusk-blue green.

I answer softly, you turn and smile,

And we let the evening take its while.

Chorus

Come along, keep time with me,

Where the reeds bend low beside the water.

You take the high note, I’ll harmonize,

Two wandering hearts in the summer air.

Instrumental: reed-pipe improvisation

Verse 2

A little frog calls from far away,

Like someone laughing at the end of the day.

Your hand finds mine as the pond turns still,

And the last warm breeze drifts over the hill.
