Coming Down off Summer

we've been waltzin' down the highways
now i'm waltzing here with you
same two eyes are lookin' my way
same old things we used to do

now what would we do
if time stood still
in a warm embrace
well, it never will

honey on the back of my tongue lately
tears in my eyes like a waterfall
is carved upon my heart ornately
the last sweet sounds of the curtain call

now what would we do
if time stood still
for a standing O
well, it never will

i'm comin down off summer
i'm comin down off fall
all I got's a handful of festival laminates hangin' on my wall

comin down off summer
walkin' round my town
sayin' hi to the neighbors
tellin' em we'll be around
at least for awhile

in case they didn't notice the epic woodpile
smoke signal sailin' south
am i the rebel or the good child
all grown up and playin' house

now what would we do
if time stood still
in the mornin' light
well, it never will

i'm comin down off summer
i'm comin down off fall
all i got's a handful of festival laminates hangin' on my wall

i'm comin down off summer
walkin' round my town
sayin' hi to the neighbors
tellin' em we'll be around
at least for awhile
