lyrics
goldenrod and rhododendron
summer's hot but soon it's ending
we're not broken we're just bending
and all that's will soon be mended
goldfinch on the okra flower
singing at an early hour
i wish this was my superpower
singing when my love's gone sour
golden slumbers flood my eyes
the sunset took me by surprise
i couldn't help but laugh and cry
despite our shrinking ship's demise
so don't get me wrong i am not complaining
but do you ever wake up and you wish it were raining
because the sunshine might not match my state of mind
if only i could let it go
then maybe i could leave it all behind me
summer's over fall has ended
winter's here there's no pretending
camellia blooms are brown and bending
our brittle love could not be mended
I knew you well, elbow and ankle
but now our story's just a fable
strangers setting separate tables
remember me well if you're able
