[00:00.00] 作词 : Henley, Smith
[00:11.870]It's comin' on the end of August
[00:21.160]Another summer's promise almost gone
[00:30.850]And though I heard some wise man say
[00:36.120]That every dog will have his day
[00:41.380]He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
[00:49.690]
[00:51.950]I don't know when I realized the dream was over
[01:02.460]Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
[01:13.000]You know, it didn't go down in flame
[01:18.370]There was no final scene, no frozen frame
[01:24.450]I just watched it slowly fade away
[01:31.550]
[01:34.840]And I've been waiting in the weeds
[01:38.910]Waiting for my time to come around again and
[01:45.470]Hope is floating on the breeze
[01:49.330]Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
[01:55.950]I've been keeping to myself
[01:59.920]Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing you
[02:06.470]And though you're with somebody else
[02:10.220]He'll never love you like I do
[02:15.170]
[02:20.530]I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows
[02:29.910]While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
[02:39.780]If finding love is just a dance
[02:45.750]Proximity and chance
[02:50.290]You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade
[02:58.710]
[03:01.640]And I've been waiting in the weeds
[03:05.770]Waiting for the dust to settle down along the
[03:12.180]Back roads running through the fields
[03:16.160]Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town
[03:21.870]And I imagine sunlight in your hair
[03:26.530]You're at the county fair
[03:29.040]You're holding hands and laughing
[03:33.140]And now the ferris wheel has stopped
[03:37.050]You're swinging on the top
[03:39.630]Suspended there with him
[03:43.270]And he's the darling of the sheik
[03:47.580]The flavor of the week is melting
[03:54.340]Down your pretty summer dress
[03:58.320]Baby, what a mess you're making
[04:05.450]
[04:26.840]I've been stumbling through some dark places
[04:32.040]Now I'm following the plow
[04:36.900]I know I've fallen out of your good graces
[04:42.800]It's alright now
[04:47.110]And I've been waiting in the weeds
[04:50.980]Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the
[04:57.460]Wild birds scattering the seeds
[05:01.450]Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune
[05:09.140]The phases of the moon
[05:11.730]The chambers of the heart
[05:14.440]The ebb and dart of small gray
[05:18.390]Spiders spinning in the dark
[05:22.330]In spite of all the times the web is torn apart
[05:29.050]And I've been waiting in the weeds
[05:33.020]Waiting for the time to come around again and
[05:39.580]Hope is floating on the breeze
[05:43.550]Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
[05:50.100]I've been keeping to myself
[05:54.040]Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing you
[06:00.590]And though you're with somebody else
[06:04.610]He'll never love you like I do
