Drying of the Lawns

[Intro] Gm C Gm C F Gm7 Dm Bb Csus4 F F Gm7 Dm Bb Csus4 F

[Verse] F Gm7 She said I cannot tell you why, she said I'm in a rush Dm Bb Csus4 F There are softer dreams for you to think about now love F Gm7 Things that you have seen this night that run by that the river's flow Dm Bb Csus4 F I can't use you if you're in the flame, I'm a growin' old

[Chorus] Am Bb F Dm And no this is not the summer's dream she said F Dm Bb Csus4 F It's just the drying of the lawns that want to keep us here Dm Bb Csus4 F

[Verse] F Gm7 Well I've said I've sailed the frozen corners of the dark Atlantic Sea Dm Bb Csus4 F And I drifted on the waves and the mirage beneath F Gm7 And never have I felt such numb and pointless searchin' truth Dm Bb Csus4 F As when I set my eyes and torched the plans on the mark of you

[Chorus] Am Bb F Dm And no this is not the summer's dream she said F Dm Bb Csus4 F It's just the drying of the lawns they're going to leave us here F Gm7 Dm Bb Csus4 F

[Verse] F Gm7 She said you follow me like sheep that think this king could do some harm Dm Bb Csus4 F But I tell you boy I'm frightened still with a sister's arm F Gm7 I set my eyes upon the shore whenever you wake up Dm Bb Csus4 F I'm leavin' because you don't fear what you're dreamin' of

[Chorus] Am Bb F Dm And no this is not the summer's dream she said F Dm Bb Csus4 F It's just the drying of the lawns they're going to leave us here Dm Bb Csus4 F

[Verse] F Gm7 But I will stand down in the hallway with no thought to leave the set Dm Bb Csus4 F Of a movie I will sure as hell not end just yet F Gm7 If evenings are for romance then this mornin' is for us Dm Bb Csus4 F It will never end and our last dream is gonna seal this house

[Chorus] Am Bb F Am And no this is not the summer's dream I said F Dm Bb F It's just the drying of the lawns they're going to leave us here F Dm Bb C F Oh it's the drying of the lawns they're going to leave us here
