[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]
