Dog Days - Amy Speace

The man in the moon is a woman in disguise

Behind the mask she has summer in her eyes

The night air hangs thick the crickets fade

From east to west the evenings on parade

Red sun, yellow moon green grass, breathing room

Lay me in my childhood bed dream of better days

Red sun yellow moon green grass breathing room

Lay me in my childhood bed

The alleys lined in barrel fires

Burning leaves, black smoke spirals

We married young In our mothers lace

With promise rings To hold a place

Red sun yellow moon green grass breathing room

Lay me in my lover
