Summer Me Soon

(album: Everything Glows - 2000)

A pigeon in a wet tree
On a blind day
I keep away from the ice
It's a frozen earth day
Froze time, froze place
Froze my tongue in between a yes and a no
Sparrows in a line, rainclouds wander
I got nowhere to go

Because my head's full of leaves
I'm naked like the trees
I'm making old October talk
But all I do is crawl
Won't you summer me soon
Yeah, won't you summer me soon

If the sun would rise behind a grey sky
I would fear for each step
That a tree would burst out of my mind
Mashed on the sidewalk
Grey snow in the recent rain
Serves to remind me
That winter is back here again

Because my head's full of leaves
I'm naked like the trees
In the cold November breeze
I just stand here and freeze
Won't you summer me soon
Won't you summer me soon
Won't you summer me soon
Won't you summer me soon
'Cause I just stand here and freeze
Won't you...
