            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 It's comin' on the end of august 
Another summer's promise almost gone 
And though I heard some wise man say 
That every dog will have his day 
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long. 
I don't know when I realized the dream was over 
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day 
And, no, it didn't go down in flame 
There was no final scene, no frozen frame 
I just watched it slowly fade away. 
And I've been waiting in the weeds 
Waiting for my time to come around again and 
Hope is floating on the breeze 
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and 
I've been keepin' to myself 
Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing 
Even though you're with somebody else 
He'll never love you like I do. 
I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows 
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage 
If finding love is just a dance 
Proximity and chance 
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade. 
And I've been waiting in the weeds 
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the 
Back roads running through the fields 
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town 
And I imagine sunlight in your hair 
You're at the county fair. 
You're holding hands and laughing 
And now the ferris wheel has stopped 
You're swinging on the top 
Suspended there with him. 
And he's the darling of the chic 
The flavor of the week is melting 
Down your pretty summer dress 
Baby, what a mess you're making. 
I've been stumbling through some dark places 
Now I'm following the plow 
I know I've fallen out of your good graces 
It's alright now. 
And I've been waiting in the weeds 
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the 
Wild birds scattering the seeds 
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune 
The phases of the moon 
The chambers of the heart 
The egg and dart 
A small gray spider spinning in the dark 
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart. 
And I've been waiting in the weeds 
Waiting for my time to come around again and 
Hope is floating on the breeze 
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and 
I've been keeping to myself 
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing 
Even though you're with somebody else 
He'll never love you like I do.
