Hot Summer

I was alone

on the boarded up street

the closed signs swung like a poem

here where the street sweepers sleep

it was a hot summer

I was feeling cool

there was no one there knowin’ I was lookin’ for you

Well the bars were all empty

and the pavements were cracked

and the river ran wild

so I was fast on its track

it was a hot summer

I sang out of tune

there was no one there knowing

I was just a fool

I’ve got burgundy blood,

a tiger stone in my boot

hip flask in my pocket

we could dance on the roof

it was a hot summer

and I’m just a fool

there was no one there knowing

I was looking for you

on the other side

on the other side

of the wild and true sages

on the other side

on the other side of a you

it’s mind mazes

It was a

Hot summer I was

just a fool

I knew it right then

but there was nothing to do
