At The Church Wall (1987)

And the old man stood there leaning against the church wall

He was thinking about her warm face
And how she had blue eyes
What eyes she had
So blue, so beautiful, and so blue

She danced like the wind
Warm blue wind like summertime
Dancing

And her eyes danced
As her hair blew in the wind
Her eyes blue
In the wind

And he stood against the church wall thinking
About her blue eyes dancing

She would dance for hours
Like the wind dancing on the lea
Dancing with her brown hair trailing
In the warm blue wind

And he thought about her
Standing by the church wall
Falling to the ground
Blue eyes dancing
Summer breezes blowing
Quiet whispers “I love you”
Whisper
Choir voices filled the chapel
Silence fell upon him
Heavy silence watching
Quiet whispers “I am going”
Blue eyes closing
Lying by the church wall quiet
Still blue eyes

And her eyes were blue
And danced

And he fell against the church wall
Angry
Listening to the warm wind
Dancing
Like her blue eyes always did
