Dog Days

Lyrics

The man in the moon is a woman in disguise Behind the mask she has summer in her eyes The night air hangs thick the crickets fade From east to west the evenings on parade Red sun, yellow moon green grass, breathing room Lay me in my childhood bed dream of better days Red sun yellow moon green grass breathing room Lay me in my childhood bed The alleys lined in barrel fires Burning leaves, black smoke spirals We married young In our mothers lace With promise rings To hold a place Red sun yellow moon green grass breathing room Lay me in my lover?s bed Red sun yellow moon green grass breathing room Lay me in my lover?s bed dream of dog days Got my shoes off with the mud Between my toes Don?t forget to dress me in my Sunday clothes I could count the afternoons left on my hand Let it all begin again Can you hear the carousel The tractor hum the catholic bells We run toward our slowing down I?ll never leave this Lackawanna town Red sun yellow moon green grass breathing room Lay me in my childhood bed Red sun yellow moon green grass breathing room Lay me in my lover?s bed Red sun yellow moon green grass breathing room Lay me in my final lay me in my final lay me in my final bed
