Lyrics

[00:12.47] It's comin' on the end of August
[00:21.76] Another summer's promise almost gone
[00:31.45] And though I heard some wise man say
[00:36.72] That every dog will have his day
[00:41.98] He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
[00:50.29]
[00:52.55] I don't know when I realized the dream was over
[01:03.06] Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
[01:13.60] You know, it didn't go down in flame
[01:18.97] There was no final scene, no frozen frame
[01:25.05] I just watched it slowly fade away
[01:32.15]
[01:35.44] And I've been waiting in the weeds
[01:39.51] Waiting for my time to come around again and
[01:46.07] Hope is floating on the breeze
[01:49.93] Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
[01:56.55] I've been keepin' to myself
[02:00.52] Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing
[02:07.07] Even though you're with somebody else
[02:10.82] He'll never love you like I do
[02:15.77]
[02:21.13] I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows
[02:30.51] While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
[02:40.38] If finding love is just a dance
[02:46.35] Proximity and chance
[02:50.89] You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade
[02:59.31]
[03:02.24] And I've been waiting in the weeds
[03:06.37] Waiting for the dust to settle down along the
[03:12.78] Back roads running through the fields
[03:16.76] Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town
[03:22.47] And I imagine sunlight in your hair
[03:27.13] You're at the county fair
[03:29.64] You're holding hands and laughing
[03:33.74] And now the ferris wheel has stopped
[03:37.65] You're swinging on the top
[03:40.23] Suspended there with him
[03:43.87] And he's the darling of the sheik
[03:48.18] The flavor of the week is melting
[03:54.94] Down your pretty summer dress
[03:58.92] Baby, what a mess you're making
[04:06.05]
[04:27.44] I've been stumbling through some dark places
[04:32.64] Now I'm following the plow
[04:37.50] I know I've fallen out of your good graces
[04:43.40] It's alright now
[04:47.71] And I've been waiting in the weeds
[04:51.58] Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the
[04:58.06] Wild birds scattering the seeds
[05:02.05] Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune
[05:09.74] The phases of the moon
[05:12.33] The chambers of the heart
[05:15.04] The ebb and dart of small gray
[05:18.99] Spiders spinning in the dark
[05:22.93] In spite of all the times the web is torn apart
[05:29.65] And I've been waiting in the weeds
[05:33.62] Waiting for the time to come around again and
[05:40.18] Hope is floating on the breeze
[05:44.15] Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
[05:50.70] I've been keepinl to myself
[05:54.64] Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing
[06:01.19] Even though you're with somebody else
[06:05.21] He'll never love you like I do
[06:07.79]
