The Drying of the Lawns

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 run by that

the river's flow

I can 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 want 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 the plans on the mark

of you

And no this is not the summer dream she said

It's just the drying of the lawns I want 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

heart

I set my eyes upon the shore whenever you wake up

I'm leavin' because 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 want 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 end and our last dream was a ... house

And no this is not the summer dream I said

It's just the drying of the lawns that want to leave us

here

Oh it's the drying of the lawns that want to leave us

here
