about

Michigan summers have been breaking my heart since I was a kid. Why can’t perfect things last just a little longer?

lyrics

Reedy blue jay barking in that tree
Backyard bully gonna do what he please
Good God, it’s July, let that breeze come and kiss your face
I’d sign a petition to keep us right here
I don’t see no need for this blue green sphere
To continue its trip, another long year through space

There may come a day better than this
But honey, I don’t think I want to take that risk
No, no, no, no, no

Now, I don’t want you to take this the wrong way
But I’ve been thinking about my last day
And how it’s going to play out if I get my wish
Roll me out on the lawn on some summer morning
Don’t wait too late till it gets hot or storming
A requiem of cicadas performing, and off I’ll drift

There may be a sound sweeter than this
But honey, I don’t want to take that risk
No, no, no, no, no

There may come a day better than this
But honey, I don’t think I want to take that risk
No, no, no, no, no

Reedy blue jay barking in that tree
Backyard bully gonna do what he please
Good God, it’s July, let that breeze come and kiss your face
