[00:10.00]It''''s comin'''' on the end of August
[00:20.00]Another summer''''s promise almost gone
[00:30.00]And though I heard some wise man say
[00:35.00]That every dog will have his day
[00:40.00]He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
[00:51.00]I don''''t know when I realized the dream was over
[01:01.00]Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
[01:13.00]You know, it didn''''t go down in flame
[01:18.00]There was no final scene, no frozen frame
[01:24.00]I just watched it slowly fade away
[01:34.00]And I''''ve been waiting in the weeds
[01:38.00]Waiting for my time to come around
[01:43.00]again and Hope is floating on the breeze
[01:49.00]Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
[01:56.00]I''''ve been keepin'''' to myself
[01:59.00]Knowin'''' that the seasons are slowly changing you
[02:05.00]And though you''''re with somebody else
[02:10.00]He''''ll never love you like I do
[02:20.00]I''''ve been biding time with the crows and sparrows
[02:29.00]While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
[02:39.00]If finding love is just a dance
[02:45.00]Proximity and chance
[02:50.00]You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade
[03:01.00]And I''''ve been waiting in the weeds
[03:05.00]Waiting for the dust to settle down along the
[03:11.00]Back roads running through the fields
[03:16.00]Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town
[03:22.00]And I imagine sunlight in your hair
[03:26.00]You''''re at the county fair
[03:29.00]You''''re holding hands and laughing
[03:32.00]And now the Ferris wheel has stopped
[03:36.00]You''''re swinging on the top
[03:39.00]Suspended there with him
[03:43.00]And he''''s the darling of the chic
[03:47.00]The flavor of the week is melting
[03:54.00]Down your pretty summer dress
[03:58.00]Baby, what a mess you''''re making
[04:26.44]I''''ve been stumbling through some dark places
[04:32.00]Now I''''m following the plow
[04:36.44]I know I''''ve fallen out of your good graces
[04:43.00]It''''s alright now
[04:47.00]And I''''ve been waiting in the weeds
[04:50.00]Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the
[04:57.33]Wild birds scattering the seeds
[05:01.00]Answering the calling of the tide''''s eternal tune
[05:08.55]The phases of the moon
[05:11.00]The chambers of the heart
[05:14.00]The egg and dart
[05:17.00]A small gray spider spinning in the dark
[05:22.00]In spite of all the times the web is torn apart
[05:32.00]Waiting for the time to come around again and
[05:39.00]Hope is floating on the breeze
[05:43.00]Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
[05:50.00]I''''ve been keepin’ to myself
[05:54.00]Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing you
[06:01.00]And though you''''re with somebody else
[06:05.00]He''''ll never love you like I do
