How I enjoy the walks by the creek Day after day And how I enjoy the smell of the spring Lingering by the lake And how I wish I could share it with you Wrapped in your embrace While studying the sunlit sparkling Smile upon your face I talked to the turtle And I talked to the frog And they said that nature can Retract the veil of the fog Don't you know the price we pay To torture out our hearts Stretched beneath the trampling of The footsteps far apart And don't you wish for simpler ways To make this fondness work When longing seems to dominate This portrait of the earth I talked to the turtle And I talked to the frog And they said that nature can Retract the veil of the fog
