Ivory Bones on a Summer Day

When I found love, I did not know it yet.

A song was sung that stopped my very pulse.

I knew it from the first time we had met.

To any else, my thoughts would soon repulse.

Warm sunny days gave all I ever asked,

Brought harmony and melody to me.

Upon that bench next to the door, I sat.

Your beauty kept me no longer in need.

To you I went when I was sad and low.

Without you, love, my thoughts I dare not say.

There is no other place I’d rather go.

The knot that is my soul, I’d let you fray.

On summer days, I struck your iv’ry bones.

Nobody knows me like the piano.
