AUGUST DREAM
w&m by Dana Countryman

On the beach there were stars that fell,
A moonlit night, a carousel, and you,
you were there with the stars in your hair

Your dress was black as the night,
and there were flowers in your arms
and misty watercolors in your eyes,
Under soft August skies

We sat down on the sand
and I brushed your chin with my hand
And oh, what a moment of love
A seagull circled above,
and what I heard of his cries,
They couldn’t match the sound of your sighs

I was cold, but your skin was warm
Then suddenly, a summer storm drew near,
as you touched me and I kissed your ear

Your dress fell back like the tide,
oh, as I melted in your arms
and tasted all the loveliness of you,
as the sweet sea-breeze grew

Then a stir hit the wind,
the carousel started to spin
And you and I became as one,
the magic dance had begun
And when we opened our eyes,
the morning sun had started to rise

Then I woke and I kissed your cheek
You smiled at me, we didn’t speak
But was it a dream?
Was it only a dream?

about

Dana Countryman Seattle, Washington

This artist remains a mystery. He never performs live in concert, these days. Deeply allergic to hip-hop and most modern radio sounds, he stays happy in his retro pop world.
