Lyrics

Summer's almost over and I'm crying
But I don't know why
Sentimental old fool weeping for this blue, blue sky
And the way the cat is sleeping
And the way the garden grew
Wagging dogs who lick my face
And the way I feel for you
Paddling in the kayaks with my sister
Through the quiet creek
Moon upon the water
And the river breeze upon my cheek
And the way my father shuffles
With his courage and his cane
And the way September bluffs and faints
Till autumn falls again
Summer's almost over and I'm crying
But I don't know why
A party for my birthday
And a tractor for my fifty years
Swallows at their bird place
Spin and dive above the new mown fields
And a week in Colorado
Reading books with my best friend
And the thing I knew I couldn't do
And now I know I can
Who could help but welcome autumn
And the promise of winter snows
Still there's something sweet and wistful
As I watch this lovely summer go
But the sun is sinking sooner
And the weeds have won at last
With the berries on the bushes
And the crickets in the grass
Summer's almost over and I'm crying
But I don't know why
