The Vine Covered Cottage
There's a vine covered cottage over the hill
If you don't find it first I sure will
It's pretty well hidden in the briar and bush
Watch where you walk or you'll fall on your tush
Look over there at that mound of green
It seems different than the rest of the scene
Getting up closer I see a window, a door
Taking these vines down will be quite a chore
Under the vines I could see very faint
It used to be covered with powder blue paint
Following the pebble strewn path away from the door
I came to large waves crashing the shore
Sitting on a big rock that was welcoming me
Gazing all about me to see what I'd see
I recognized treasure half buried in sand
Hey come quick and give me a hand
Finding beautiful shells from abalone and snail
Shining green bottles that used to hold ale
A locket with pictures that somebody lost
With a man and a woman, lovers star crossed
Here is some blue glass broken in shards
There is a worn out deck of cards
Scattered pearls no longer a string
And a child's imitation glass ring
The sun's going down. There's a chill in the air
We better get over the hill while we dare
Tell no one of this place we have found
Where lots of treasures under sand abound.
