lyrics

Went out walking in the park
All alone just after dark
Ducks were playing in the pond
As the streetlights all came on

Well I hummed myself a tune
Underneath that crescent moon
And I wished that you were there
With your beautiful long black hair

Long black hair who's playin' with it now
Long black hair as the summer lights go down
Long black hair oh I miss it falling everywhere
Everywhere around me your beautiful long black hair

There were kids and dogs that night
And some long lost fireflies
They all asked me how you've been
And if you'll be back again

I didn't know what I should say
Or how long you'd be away
I just smiled and sang my song
And they all sang along
