| [00:12.47] |
It's comin' on the end of August |
| [00:21.76] |
Another summer's promise almost gone |
| [00:31.45] |
And though I heard some wise man say |
| [00:36.72] |
That every dog will have his day |
| [00:41.98] |
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long |
| [00:50.29] |
|
| [00:52.55] |
I don't know when I realized the dream was over |
| [01:03.06] |
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day |
| [01:13.60] |
You know, it didn't go down in flame |
| [01:18.97] |
There was no final scene, no frozen frame |
| [01:25.05] |
I just watched it slowly fade away |
| [01:32.15] |
|
| [01:35.44] |
And I've been waiting in the weeds |
| [01:39.51] |
Waiting for my time to come around again and |
| [01:46.07] |
Hope is floating on the breeze |
| [01:49.93] |
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and |
| [01:56.55] |
I've been keepin' to myself |
| [02:00.52] |
Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing |
| [02:07.07] |
Even though you're with somebody else |
| [02:10.82] |
He'll never love you like I do |
| [02:15.77] |
|
| [02:21.13] |
I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows |
| [02:30.51] |
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage |
| [02:40.38] |
If finding love is just a dance |
| [02:46.35] |
Proximity and chance |
| [02:50.89] |
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade |
| [02:59.31] |
|
| [03:02.24] |
And I've been waiting in the weeds |
| [03:06.37] |
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the |
| [03:12.78] |
Back roads running through the fields |
| [03:16.76] |
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town |
| [03:22.47] |
And I imagine sunlight in your hair |
| [03:27.13] |
You're at the county fair |
| [03:29.64] |
You're holding hands and laughing |
| [03:33.74] |
And now the ferris wheel has stopped |
| [03:37.65] |
You're swinging on the top |
| [03:40.23] |
Suspended there with him |
| [03:43.87] |
And he's the darling of the sheik |
| [03:48.18] |
The flavor of the week is melting |
| [03:54.94] |
Down your pretty summer dress |
| [03:58.92] |
Baby, what a mess you're making |
| [04:06.05] |
|
| [04:27.44] |
I've been stumbling through some dark places |
| [04:32.64] |
Now I'm following the plow |
| [04:37.50] |
I know I've fallen out of your good graces |
| [04:43.40] |
It's alright now |
| [04:47.71] |
And I've been waiting in the weeds |
| [04:51.58] |
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the |
| [04:58.06] |
Wild birds scattering the seeds |
| [05:02.05] |
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune |
| [05:09.74] |
The phases of the moon |
| [05:12.33] |
The chambers of the heart |
| [05:15.04] |
The ebb and dart of small gray |
| [05:18.99] |
Spiders spinning in the dark |
| [05:22.93] |
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart |
| [05:29.65] |
And I've been waiting in the weeds |
| [05:33.62] |
Waiting for the time to come around again and |
| [05:40.18] |
Hope is floating on the breeze |
| [05:44.15] |
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and |
| [05:50.70] |
I've been keepinl to myself |
| [05:54.64] |
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing |
| [06:01.19] |
Even though you're with somebody else |
| [06:05.21] |
He'll never love you like I do |
| [06:07.79] |
