lyrics

He swam across the channel Parasols extended high above his head Cautious of the animals Who had reason to believe They all had right to feed Upon his failing legs July fifth for all God’s people A summer death for Robert Cleveland Laid to rest in Amphitritie’s arms Blanket church bell laughter ringing Starting children’s choirs singing Little tenors singing from the heart. We will part but I’ll always keep you close to my heart Blindly sunshine beaming on a slightly greening garden past the car A quiet summer evening Gently being drowned by a thousand worker’s sounds In the sweetest labor Keeping bees was just a hobby Although the honey was good for his body A lonely life but it helped sustain his art Although the bees won’t be receiving Further keeping from Mr. Cleveland They’ll continue each to do their part We will part but I‘ll always keep you close to my heart Everyday people returning back to that from which they came Understand things couldn’t be any other way A summer’s night contently sinking through the deep without a fight Doing his part helping nature restore order through its art.
