Summer Lawn

Watch your body rise and fall

Respiring the sadness

Into distance till the day is gone

You're leaving it all in a dream you won't recall

Every time a calendar flips

Another time is losing its grip

The characters we generate

But it's never quite the same

In the garden, in the garage

Kingdom of a summer lawn

Summing the dream of another life to come

Behind your eyes you're filing away

the details of another day

We can't retain them all

You can't retain them all

In the garden, in the garage

The echo of a summer lost

Remember the dream of another life to come

Sending for a cicada

Ground is calling you home

Time is losing its grip

The gentle sway of the trees

Will soon be an ominous breeze

Time is losing its grip

Of days my love will lift
