Rattles and clashes
Light flashes
The pitter patter the patter pitter
My mind all a glitter
Is that a guffaw or a juvenile titter?
Ah, memories erupt, sweet and bitter
From the ground soaked with summer rain
Reviving that pain
Slowly creeps a nostalgia laced petrichor
Making me yearn for more and still more
Of those splashes in the mud rain soaked
When on our untrammeled laughter we choked
Those paper boats of yore sailed along
In sync with our baby dreams singing a hopeful song
Pitter patter
Patter pitter
Once more near the river Lidder
Pitter patter patter pitter.
Memories sweet and bitter
Traipsing along, slipping and tripping
And gripping
Me in a hold strong.
Ah this summer rain
Gives me pain
And I go insane
Listening to this pitter patter
Patter pitter
Peering into the glitter
Of an era gone with the shedding of tears bitter.
Ah this pitter patter of the summer rain.
Gives me pain
And I go insane.
Yet again.
