Lock & Key Lyrics - Sun Midnight Sun - Sara Watkins

In the long light of early July 

In the summer heat he asked me to be his wife 

He said, Take my hand, and for the rest of my life 

Ill be at your sid 

Its you and me in the by and by. 

He said long have you been a bud in bloom 

With sun kissed blush and ivory croon 

So let the wind whip the green grass into dunes 

My love for you runs through and through 

Forever cannot come too soon 

The summer left and came November clouds 

When it all had fallen to the ground 

Waiting for the sun to come back around 

Im meant to lift him up not tie him down 

I am lost but once was found 

Good times they came and went away 

By and by we began to fray 

And it was clear to see 

That he had swayed 

That first summer seemed so far away 

But Im still here and not afraid 

So we whipped the green grass whips to juice 

Forever stayed out of view 

My ivory skin still croons 

My love for him goes through and through 

He had my hand and then he set it free 

Still got my heart hidden away from me 

I cant walk away, I wont let it be 

My love is under lock and key 

My love is under lock and key 

My loves been hidden away from me
