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
