The Drying Of The Lawns
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She said "I cannot tell you why", she said "I'm in a rush"
There are softer dreams for you to think about now love
Things that you have seen this night that runs by that river's flow
I can't use you if you're in the flame, I'm a growin' old
And no, this is not the summer dream she said
It's just the drying of the lawns I'm going to leave out there
Well, I've said I've sailed the frozen corners of the dark Atlantic Sea
And I drifted on the waves and the mirage beneath
And never have I felt such numb and pointless searchin' true
As when I set my eyes and torched up lands on the mark of you
And no, this is not the summer dream she said
It's just the drying of the lawns I'm going to leave out there
She said "you follow me like sheep that think this king could do some harm
But I tell you, boy, I'm frightened still with a sister's arm
I set my eyes upon the shore whenever you wake up
I'm leavin', 'cause you don't feel what you're dreamin' of"
And no this is not the summer dream she said
It's just the drying of the lawns I'm going to leave out there
But I will stand down in the hallway with no thought to leave the set
Of a movie I will sure as hell not end just yet
If evenings are for romance then this mornin' is for us
It will never rain then our last dream would deceive this house
And, no, this is not the summer dream I said
It's just the drying of the lawns that going to leave us here
Oh, it's the drying of the lawns that going to leave us here
