The Drying of the Lawns The Tallest Man On Earth

[Verse 1]
She said I cannot tell you why, she said I'm in a rush
There are softer dreams for you to think about now, love
Things that you have seen this night runs by that river's flow
I can use you, if you're in the flame, I'm a-growin' old

[Chorus]
And no, this is not the summer dream she said
It's just the drying of the lawns I want to leave out there

[Verse 2]
Well, I've said I've sailed the frozen corners of the dark Atlantic Sea
And I drifted on the waves and the mirage underneath
And never have I felt such numb and pointless searchin' true
As when I set my eyes and torched the plans on the mark of you

[Chorus]
And no, this is not the summer dream she said
It's just the drying of the lawns I want to leave out there

[Verse 3]
She said you follow me like sheep that think this cane could do some harm
But I tell you, boy, I'm frightened still with a sister's heart
I set my eyes upon the shore whenever you wake up
I'm leavin' 'cause you don't fear what you're dreamin' of
