about

For my old school friends who I went camping with in our youth, you know who you are.

lyrics

Where sunbeams stream
Through punctured leaves
And strike the ground
Where soil breathes

Into the trees so dark and rich
Who build the fires in the ditch
The ground is dry but whistles wet
For fine times in the woods are met
And deep within the forest's dream
The mind what boggles starts to gleam

In gladly glade where we all found some grace
In which to rest and find one's special place
To be outdoors yet inside mellow camps
The mystery in burning candle lamps

In gladly glade is autumn's yield scent
And birdsong that the summer/spring had lent
To be the breeze and tussock; grassy knoll
Where all layers of the mind unfold

So through the night of sticks and stones
We wander with our weathered bones
Of feelings we were unafraid
Inside the realm of Gladly Glade

We Gladly pitched a home per chance
And madly, gladely, deeply, danced
We madly, gladely deeply danced
