Haymaking Time - City Boy

The first thing I saw was the sun on your skin

Dew on the doorstep, the milk to take in to the house

A mouse running rafters, the cat running after, to catch him a playmate

They tell me it’s Haymaking Time again

The next thing I knew we were sitting apart

You in pajamas and me with my heart on your sleeve

Don’t go, leave the day spoiled, wait till the egg’s boiled, what’s in a moment

Indulging in sentimentality

You know it’s not right, to make a song and dance over night

You know it’s not right, but you do it anyhow

It’s not very bright, to turn it on as you turn out the light

It’s not very bright, but you do it anyhow

Memories shelter in days such as these

Love still remembered in visions you cast with the breeze

Wax on the candle, sand in your sandals, they weather the seasons

Who cares about reasoning anyway

You know it’s not right, to make a song and dance over night

You know it’s not right, but you do it anyhow

It’s not very bright, to turn it on as you turn out the light

It’s not very bright, but you do it anyhow
