Satin spring, sleepless summer
Hours pass and we grow younger
Early dawn, late to the worm
All night long, the fire burns
Door's unlocked, come inside
Warm embrace, unsuspecting eyes
Here is the Earth and there are the stars
Cues in the queue in a jam-packed bar
Rolling storms rolling through
Sun comes out for a day or two
Back to bed and back up again,
If only they knew now what I knew then
Sound assembles, minds levitate
Pawns played, your turn - checkmate
The sun is in lust, but the moon is in love
Night and days just as you once dreamed of
Down economy, times are hard
Can't hardly pay off all the credit cards
Everyone agrees, but no one knows
The farmer always reaps the seeds that he sows
Elaborate stories, defense needed
Surrendering troops finally conceded
Agonizing time, patronizing theories
No one entertains my incessantly curious queries
Tide high, daylight dwindles
Soft looks, color on cheeks kindles
Don't worry kid, we're all contrarians here
And the conventional snickers, jesters, and sneers
Conformist thoughts, wide world
Death a secret until the plot's unfurled
Everything matters, nothing does
Laughing kids remind you of what once was
Fresh coffee, piping cup
Boiled down and filled up
Drought's over, rain falls
The days are kind and my mother calls
Trees golden, autumnal glow
We all must go where the wind blows
