Waiting in the weeds (2)

[00:11.44] It's comin' on the end of August

[00:20.68] Another summer's promise almost gone

[00:30.95] And though I heard some wise man say

[00:35.69] That every dog will have his day

[00:40.44] He never mentioned that these dog days get so long

[00:51.68] I don't know when I realized the dream was over

[00:58.69] Well, there was no particular hour, no given day

[01:08.69] And, no, it didn't go down in flame

[01:17.44] There was no final scene, no frozen frame

[01:23.94] I just watched it slowly fade away

[01:34.19] And I've been waiting in the weeds

[01:37.94] Waiting for my time to come around again and

[01:44.20] Hope is floating on the breeze

[01:48.19] Carrying my soul high up above the ground and

[01:55.44] I've been keepin' to myself

[01:59.44] Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing

[02:05.94] Even though you're with somebody else

[02:09.44] He'll never love you like I do

[02:19.44] I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows

[02:28.44] While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage

[02:38.19] If finding love is just a dance

[02:43.18] Proximity and chance

[02:49.19] You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade

[03:01.44] And I've been waiting in the weeds

[03:04.68] Waiting for the dust to settle down along the

[03:10.44] Back roads running through the fields

[03:15.96] Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town

[03:21.44] And I imagine sunlight in your hair

[03:25.19] You're at the county fair

[03:28.21] You're holding hands and laughing

[03:32.68] And now the ferris wheel has stopped

[03:36.19] You're swinging on the top

[03:38.94] Suspended there with him

[03:42.69] And he's the darling of the chic

[03:46.69] The flavor of the week is melting

[03:53.19] Down your pretty summer dress

[03:57.18] Baby, what a mess you're making

[04:27.19] I've been stumbling through some dark places

[04:31.44] Now I'm following the plow

[04:35.69] I know I've fallen out of your good graces

[04:41.69] It's alright now

[04:46.43] And I've been waiting in the weeds

[04:49.94] Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the

[04:55.94] Wild birds scattering the seeds

[05:00.44] Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune

[05:08.44] The phases of the moon

[05:11.45] The chambers of the heart

[05:14.44] The egg and dart

[05:17.69] A small gray spider spinning in the dark

[05:21.69] In spite of all the times the web is torn apart

[05:29.45] And I've been waiting in the weeds

[05:32.69] Waiting for my time to come around again and

[05:39.19] Hope is floating on the breeze

[05:42.96] Carrying my soul high up above the ground and

[05:49.68] I've been keeping to myself

[05:53.20] Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing

[06:00.18] Even though you're with somebody else

[06:04.93] He'll never love you like I do
