about

A summer's day, sitting on the porch. Premastered version

lyrics

The pink sunrise in the morning sky
The light of a new day fills my eyes
Yellow bird playing in the apple tree
She’s keeping real busy she’s got mouths to feed

Time to get working when I want to play
I got to get going but I want to stay

Milk snake crawling through the front yard grass
Two little birds trying to mark his path
Got a little nest in the apple tree
Gonna chase that snake till he heeds their plea

Time to get working no time to play
Got get going though you want to stay

I will stand and face this life
Till I have no cares, have no cares no more

Blue bird sitting on the garden fence
Working on a meal feeling no regrets
Drops to the ground in a flash of blue
Back to the wire with some fat to chew

I know he’s working but it looks like play
Don’t want to get going you know I want to stay

Ravens whirling in the summer sky
Songbird mobbing them on the fly
Shadow of the wind in the distant trees
Sounds of the summer carried on the breeze

Got no notion what it’s all about
Still want to stick around to see how it all turns out

I will stand and face this life
Till I have no cares, have no cares no more

The scarlet in the west of the day’s sunset
The sailor’s rejoice with just one regret
The blossoms turn to apples on the front yard tree
Gonna fall to the ground when its time to break free

Time to get working when I want to play
I got to get going but I want to stay

Hails from the northernmost reaches of NY. It's called the North Country and it's beautiful. Any more north and we'd be in Canada. Which is nice too.
