Summer Turns To High

Mercury is rising still, turn the fan on high

I won't step on my own shadow, no one wants to crySomeone put a pox on me, I spit in their eyes

Summer turns to highLift my bed sheet, cape and sandals, circle Citronella candles

Summer's here but night is raising hopes and dragonfliesIf those hopes are overshadowed

Cotton candy, caramel waferSummer turns to high

Summer turns to high

Summer turns to high, summer highAfter wine and nectarines, the fireflies and time

Move like syrup through the evening with the sweet resignI won't fight, for what can't happen

I'm preoccupiedSummer turns to high

Summer turns to high

Summer turns to high, summer high
