Key: D
Introduction:
C Dm7(b5)
She said I cannot tell you why, she said I'm in a rush
Am Am/G F G4 C
There are softer dreams for you to think about now love
C Dm7(b5)
Things that you have seen this night that run by that the river's flow
Am Am/G F G4 C
I can use you if you're in the flame, I'm a growin' old
Em F C Am
And no this is not the summer dream she said
C Am F G4 C
It's just the drying of the lawns I want to leave out there
C Dm7(b5)
Well I've said I've sailed the frozen corners of the dark Atlantic Sea
Am Am/G F G4 C
And I drifted on the waves and the mirage beneath
C Dm7(b5)
And never have I felt such numb and pointless searchin' true
Am Am/G F G4 C
As when I set my eyes and torched the plans on the mark of you
Em F C Am
And no this is not the summer dream she said
C Am F G4 C
It's just the drying of the lawns I want to leave out there
C Dm7(b5)
She said you follow me like sheep that think this king could do some harm
Am Am/G F G4 C
But I tell you boy I'm frightened still with a sister's heart
C Dm7(b5)
I set my eyes upon the shore whenever you wake up
Am Am/G F G4 C
I'm leavin' because you don't feel what you're dreamin' of
Em F C Am
And no this is not the summer dream she said
C Am F G4 C
It's just the drying of the lawns I want to leave out there
C Dm7(b5) Bm7(b5)
But I will stand down in the hallway with no thought to leave the set
Am Am/G F G4 C
Of a movie I will sure as hell not end just yet
C Dm7(b5)
If evenings are for romance then this mornin' is for us
Am Am/G F G4 C
It will never end and our last dream will leave this house
Em F C Em
And no this is not the summer dream I said
C G/B Am G F C
It's just the drying of the lawns that want to leave us here
C G/B Am G F C
Oh it's the drying of the lawns that want to leave us here
