x2 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 will leave this 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
