Old summer reckoning
Long gray shadows bring you home again
I keep you in mind
I keep you in mind
Every year around this time

Tired heat hangin'
On worn out leaves
But still they're bending down over me
It weighs on the trees
Who buckle and creak
The hours movin' thick as thieves

Old summer reckoning
Long gray shadows bring you home again
I keep you in mind
I keep you in mind
Every year around this time

Tired eyes sleepin' on a wind swept page
Dreaming as the story tries to fly away
Lost too much time
I'm lost all the time
Re-reading the linеs
Re-reading the past
Rе-reading the last few lines

I left you as the summer brought down that day
Baffled in the Sun
You turned hard as clay
Day after day
Come wind and come rain
I pray that you are swept away
