Lay Your Leathery Heat On Me
Oh Summer, let me count thy ways as I bask
inside the sunlight of your sunny spice
Oh Summer, may I drink from your flaxen flask
before winter turns my skin as cold as ice
Oh Summer, dance me to the end of August
then dance me to the end of love.
Oh Summer, before my memory turns to dust
come and fit me like a glove...
Oh Summer, favored amongst all seasons
with your golden rays of Yupik Mesquite
Oh summer, give me all your fiery beacons
lay your leathery heat on me, replete
Oh Summer, Oh Summer, Oh Summer,
you'll be gone soon, now that is a bummer !
