Midsummer Fires - Seachange

Stood on a bridge up east on the county borderline

You struck me dumb with words you had no right to know

Throw your voice

Lip-read read the rest

I could get lost and fall behind

What was that you said

Under your breath about a boy…

If you want me, don’t be late

I’m not leaving, but I won’t stay

Keeping distance out of site

I won’t watch you waste away

You don’t ask much, you don’t ask twice

You don’t ask the feelings you hold inside

If you want me don’t be late.

Out in the hills we’ll run and run till we fall down

Grass moves across your skin and 6 years fall away

You used to thrown coins in for luck in the well

At the mill burnt down now

You said everything seems smaller now

In the meantime

All the honey here for me

Lavender vervaine apple tree

Midsummer fires are all the rage

Burns through the night keeps them away
