Asleep by the river
And threatening to fall
Buzzing flies and the drone of your voice
Merging into a drawl
Don't ask me to tell her
Don't ask me to call
In the heat of the summer
There's something wrong
Halcyon days tainted by wine
The details are lost, but the essence is fine
So don't ask me to tell her
Don't ask me to call
In the heat of the summer
There's something wrong
Something close but far away
You're asking me to stay but I've gotta go
Something close but far away
You're asking me to stay but somehow I know
So don't ask me to tell her
Don't ask me to call
In the heat of the summer
There's something wrong
Halcyon days tainted by wine
The details are lost, but the essence is fine
So don't ask me to tell her
Don't ask me to call
In the heat of the summer
There's something wrong
