Hot July

Have you ever been OK
Right where you are
Have you ever had everything
Forget the getaway car

It’s the peak of mid-summer
High noon in July
Whatever’s living’s so vivid
What dies shall naturally die

In the blaze of the sunshine
Heat and power of sun
No need for tomorrow
No place to run

An oasis of wonder
In the tumult of time
Rising cricket crescendo
Electric impulse of mind

I know you feel my love darling
“Caw – caw – caw!” crow –
Summer seed pregnant
We burst and we grow

We burst and we grow
We burst and we grow
