Tired heat hangin’
Dm Bb
On worn out leaves

But still they’re bending down over me

It weighs on the trees

Who buckle and creak

The hours movin’ thick as thieves

Tired eyes sleepin’ on a wind swept page

Dreaming as the story tries to fly away

Lost too much time

I’m lost all the time

Re-reading the linеs

Re-reading the past

Rе-reading the last few lines

[Verse 5]

I left you as the summer brought down that day
F C7
Baffled in the sun
A7 Dm
You turned hard as clay
Bb F
Day after day
Bb A7
Come wind and come rain
Bb C7 A7 Dm
I pray that you are swept away
