[00:10.31]It's comin' on the end of August
[00:19.63]Another summer's promise almost gone
[00:29.56]And though I heard some wise man say
[00:34.66]That every dog will have his day
[00:39.98]He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
[00:50.52]I don't know when I realized the dream was over
[01:00.14]Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
[01:09.87]You know, it didn't go down in flame
[01:16.50]There was no final scene, no frozen frame
[01:22.71]I just watched it slowly fade away
[01:31.65]And I've been waiting in the weeds
[01:37.91]Waiting for my time to come around again and
[01:44.25]Hope is floating on the breeze
[01:48.22]Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
[01:54.40]I've been keepin' to myself
[01:58.69]Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing
[02:05.41]Even though you're with somebody else
[02:09.19]He'll never love you like I do
[02:19.34]I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows
[02:28.92]While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
[02:38.73]If finding love is just a dance
[02:44.66]Proximity and chance
[02:49.01]You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade
[02:59.57]And I've been waiting in the weeds
[03:03.59]Waiting for the dust to settle down along the
[03:10.14]Back roads running through the fields
[03:14.05]Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town
[03:20.70]And I imagine sunlight in your hair
[03:24.56]You're at the county fair
[03:27.06]You're holding hands and laughing
[03:30.53]And now the ferris wheel has stopped
[03:35.03]You're swinging on the top
[03:37.61]Suspended there with him
[03:40.24]And he's the darling of the sheik
[03:44.77]The flavor of the week is melting
[03:51.46]Down your pretty summer dress
[03:55.37]Baby, what a mess you're making
[04:23.91]I've been stumbling through some dark places
[04:29.20]Now I'm following the plow
[04:34.06]I know I've fallen out of your good graces
[04:39.94]It's alright now
[04:44.25]And I've been waiting in the weeds
[04:48.03]Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the
[04:54.58]Wild birds scattering the seeds
[04:58.51]Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune
[05:06.11]The phases of the moon
[05:08.74]The chambers of the heart
[05:11.34]The ebb and dart of small gray
[05:15.61]Spiders spinning in the dark
[05:19.41]In spite of all the times the web is torn apart
[05:25.90]And I've been waiting in the weeds
[05:30.07]Waiting for the time to come around again and
[05:36.64]Hope is floating on the breeze
[05:40.59]Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
[05:47.19]I've been keepinl to myself
[05:51.17]Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing
[05:57.65]Even though you're with somebody else
[06:01.66]He'll never love you like I do
