Dog Days

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
