I Loved The Ground She Walked Upon

I loved the ground she walked uponAnd the air she would softly breatheThe feather touch of her gentle lipsThat only a fool would leaveThat only a fool would leaveBut we tasted forbidden wineThough I loved the ground she walked uponI could never have made her mineThe swallows fly all along the canalAnd I watch with a heavy heartIn dizzy spins they dive and wheelTouch wings and then departTouch wings and then departAs the summer fades awayThough I loved the ground she walked uponI knew that I could not stayThe swallow is a summer's childAnd she flies before the coldThough I loved the ground she walked uponShe was not mine to holdShe was not mine to holdBut it was easy to pretendThough I loved the ground she walked uponA summer has to endA summer has to end
