Summersong

05/14/09 - I haven't posted for awhile, so today I thought I'd write a song about the end of school and the beginning of summer. Here it is:

"Summersong"

Ah well,

The Summer's here, & babe, the Winter's reached its end.

And yes,

The end is near, but baby, Time don't break, It bends.

Oh well,

And don't you know, my Dear, that soon I go to leave.

And yes,

I hate the truth, but girl the proof's the sand & the sieve

Oh well,

The people come, & babe the people go afar.

And yes,

The moon it shines & babe the sun is gold, but you're my star.

Oh well,

I can't be worried, yes babe, we're all hurried along.

And yes,

We might have time, but girl don't forget this song.

The spring-time song is what we've been singin'

And like all good things, this too, it will pass.

And the Summersong will come along a breezin'

You & I will find the time to make it last.

There's

Hot air blowing across my face, and what's more

Is that

I smell the grass & I hear the thunderstorm.

Yes the

Earth is turning, & I feel it 'neath my feet.

And the

Earth is warmin', but I'm ready for the heat.

The spring-time song is what we've been singin'

And like all good things, this too, it will pass.

And the Summersong will come along a breezin'

You & I will find the time to make it last.

As I

Walk outside, the sand is in my toes.

And the

Pipe is smoking, & we're where no one knows

That to

Live is to die, but we don't need all that.

Because

It's Summer on the road & you know we never need a map.

The spring-time song is what we've been singin'

And like all good things, this too, it will pass.

And the Summersong will come along a breezin'

You & I will find the time to make it last.

Maybe it's trite, and maybe you just have to hear it. But take my word. It's a good fuckin' song.
