Let me steal away

Here I'm growing pale

Like the leaves decay

as summer fades away

Let me see the rain

Kiss the window pane

'Neath the tree we wait

Rain won't go away



Shelter from the rain

Lightning strikes again

Shelter from the rain

I'll shelter you

If you'll shelter me again



Let me save a flower

I won't let you fade away

So no jealous shower

will wash your blaze away

Let me free to steal

roses while I may

Let me free or else

I might run away
