A Summer Wasting
Summer in winter,Winter in springtime,You heard the birds sing:Everything will be fine.
I spent the summer wasting,The time was passed so easily.But if the summer's wastedHow come that I could feel so free?I spent the summer wasting,The sky was blue beyond compare.A photograph of myselfIs all I have to show for
Seven years of river walkways,Seven weeks of staying up all night.
I spent the summer wasting,The time was passed so pleasantly.Say cheerio to books now!The only things I'll read are faces.I spent the summer wastingUnder a canopy of
Seven weeks of river walkways,Seven weeks of reading papers,Seven weeks of feeling guilty,Seven weeks of staying up all night.
Summer in winter,Winter in springtime,You heard the bird say:Everything will be fine.
