That Boy
by Thomas K. HuntAvoiding all the shadows
Moving with the sun
Searching all the landscapes
Searching for some fun
Endless days in the summer haze
Running wild and free
How I long for those golden days
And to find that boy in me
The river ran through my veins
So clean, and cool, and clear
Dancing barefoot in the rain
So innocent without a fear
I could be anything
A fool without a care
But I lost him along the way
That boy that lived there
Days between the islands
Nights under the moon
How I long for that time again
When the days moved slower in June
Now miles separate me
Many years have robbed my time
The scenery is not the same
In the landscapes of my mind
The reality is just a memory
Of the sun, and fun, and joy
And the lazy, hazy summer days
