Lying on your back In the night so black Dreaming of sweet love Just beneath above There's a light on in the house See the bug see the mouse Hear em fight, hear em shout Hit the lights and go out It's just that time of the year that brings them here Yesterday the day got colder Passed away got one day older Now it seems that everything is new Then today a rock rolled over Came to life to kill the clover Left to way the way the lazy do In the dirt of the flood There's a stick in the mud But in the heat of the sun It is cool to be one It's just that time of the year So stick right here Yesterday the day got colder Passed away got one day older Now it seems that everything is new Then today a rock rolled over Came to life to kill the clover Left to lay the way the lazy do May your thoughts be kind May your knots unwind May your dogs drink wine May your days kill time And may your fears go blind As your regret rewinds A little peace of mind May you wake to find It's just that time of the year That holds you dear
