Village Green

On the village green under the blue blue sky My life is turbulent as the brook burbling by I met you on the green a long decade ago What became of you when I went with the flow I loved you then in simpler times back in the day My one lasting regret from then is that I didn't say Sitting here in silence letting my thoughts run amok The realisation I let you go hits like an aftershock The village green my place to let my thoughts unfold I could have made things different that story is untold Could have done so much with our hopes and dreams That water under the bridge like the passing stream My heart yearns to be back some ten years ago As if sad thoughts orchestrate my life's musical score Sitting in the shade I see names carved on a tree With nostalgic thoughts it's not what it used to be On the village green I decide I can't let this go on I need to look at what I've got rather than the none If we should ever meet with chance to say hello Catch up on the decade past then it's time to go
