lyrics

Sit. Listening to the little birds chirping
Watch the swifts
Careering ahead
Feel the sun’s heat even early in the morning
Emerald trees breezing
With the air from the south

But summer’s nearly gone
And the grey skies will soon be returning
With the cold
Summer’s nearly gone
Chance of adventuring,
Trysts in warm woodland
They have escaped us

Walk through fields and forest to the little beach
Collect sticks
For an unnecessary fire
With some wine, I bought from the village shop soon after it opened
Drunk slowly
Between word’s and finger’s touch

We shall eat breakfast outside on the tiny table
And the landscape and each person
Are our friends
We will laugh. We will bumble through strong sunshine
Like the crows
Flap in the space above the field

And a couple are kissing on an old seat
Leafy with love
The unworn world still lives
I have my new dress, and green and blue its colour
I am unselfconscious
My speech overflows

Summer’s nearly gone.
