The dew is on the grass
Yes I know, I am missing two syllables
But I am singing their song already
The sand is on the beach
Yes I know, that line is not even in there
However, the past is all I have to teach me
For don't you see, no now don't you
The light, so early
The light so surely transports you
For with a tune in the head
And a pot of tea in the hand
God damned youth I wished to kiss you again
Restrained, minimally, as I am
By being the only existentialist
In the room at the moment
If only the Everly Brothers
Had been around
Their sound might well have saved me
Bade me not to walk barefoot in the grass
Nor to pass up the chance
To dance the night away, dance the night away
Yet, all in all, the call has to be made
That it's been a good year for the roses
Highlighted by walking out in the morning dew
