Red cabin Red dusk Red chair sitting in the last of the sun Baby Watchin' the screen blow in and the hummingbirds swarm? The lake goes silver The sailboats lean The fire escape's made of wood Upstairs window waving green To a throat too full to sing any good In a shake of a tail Another year will be over Feels like it's just been a spring and a summer Baby Watchin' the sun spread thick on the worn out lawn On the blue and the beat up dock By the curl of the bay when the suds spread out On Earth Who could fish out a shinier haul? In the summer sun with the days so long The next catch seems like a long time comin' You don't gotta say what's troubling you Honey All my thinking back has been Strung between two tall trees Some kind of language we learned in the country Grapes filled with a million seeds each The wasp along a wooded walk By the pump house overgrown Baby Does the day feel long? Outgoing with a brown leg and a beautiful gun Say "Land ho!" from you lip's fine boat And a barnacle of teeth below Baby Does the day feel long? When you can barely see the shoreline From the ships top crow? So you say "Hey can you hear me? My land Come near me! My love My song Don't leave me alone!" And the day feels long when the fog lifts To show the mountains and to show A red cabin in a red red dusk A red chair sitting in the last of the sun Baby Even after it's dark and day is already gone?
