THE HEAVY DAYS OF JUNE

There is magic underneath our feet
And a man inside the moon
Raindrops gather on the leaves
In the heavy days of June

There is something stirring in the night
Out on the empty street
In the ghostly glow of the halogen lights
That makes the crickets sing

The clouds are covering over me
I feel the weight of June
It's time I should be moving on
The staying makes me blue

My bones are made of desert sand
My blood, the raging river
My blue eyes catch the morning light
Before the shadows scatter

The city lights, they baptize me
In their heavenly halogen glow
The outside world has gone to sleep
The summer thunder rolls

On the road, it follows me
Through the country of big sky
Sometimes it rushes over me
It finds me where I hide

I feel it when the night is thin
Orbiting like Saturn's rings
My worries draw the monsters in
And wake the angry sky

But the raindrops carry music
And in June, the water pours
I channel it by dancing
Finding peace inside the storm

Thunder shakes beneath my feet
A force too big to fight
I feel it washing over me
It finds me where I hide

But in the sky, there's music
From the ground, upswells the beat
With the lonely ghosts, I'm dancing
From the weight of June, I'm free.
