Blue Summer Day

Blue Summer Day
The cats are lyin' in the yard next door and they turn me a sleepy eye,
Roll in the grass and spring so fast for a lazy butterfly.
and it's a blue summer day
breezes blow and curtains sway
a new comer, blue summer day
The felines file to the backyard fence and they crouch in a lethal row
the blue jays flee from the apple tree, and the bees buzz to and fro
and it's a blue summer day
clotheslines hung in a hundred shades
a new comer, blue summer day
A loud lawn mower in a lawn somewhere brings a mem'ry to my ear
and from the past i smell the grass and see the green so clear
and it's a blue summer day
spiders spin and pipers play
a new comer, blue summer day
When the lawns are mowed and the laundry's stowed and the dusk is drawing near
we'll light the torches on our porches and drink ourselves a beer
and it's a blue summer day
with streaks of red and hints of gray
a new comer, blue summer day
it is a true wonder, blue summer day.
