SUMMER LAND


Head is bobbin’ in the breeze
Talkin’ to the birds and bees
About the problem of your summer dress

The black-eyed susans wet with dew
Robin’s eggs a shocking blue
I want to lay my head down on your lips

A lonely girl, lonely boy
Together they might find some joy
It’s deeper than the summer land they roam

The sun and rain come pourin’ down
Into the earth, into the ground
Plant a seed and buddy it’ll grow

The cattail in the twisted weeds
And bonded in the wide oak trees
The beauty only wild things can think of

You and me we tag along
Winter chilled the raging song
As rivers as they rush down to the sea

A lonely girl, lonely boy
Together they might find some joy
It’s deeper than the summer land they roam

The sun and rain come pourin’ down
Into the earth, into the ground
Plant a seed and buddy it’ll grow

Timeless talk of sacrifice
The woes and winds, the snow and ice
And how it must feed the endless prayers to pray

Somehow that old love survives
And late at night it comes and dies
The spring, the pregnant summers in the wind

(instrumental bridge)

I washed up by the kitchen sink
Your camisole in shockin’ pink
God, I’m goin’ wild outside your door

All my buddies drive on by
Won’t be home until the white
Don’t want to hang out with them anymore
A lonely girl, lonely boy
Together they might find some joy
It’s deeper in the summer land they go

A little sun, a little rain
A tender kiss to null the pain
Plant a seed and buddy it’ll grow

Plant a seed and buddy it’ll grow
