Solstice

Late fall, didn’t notice you
That’s all
Boy, was I a fool
To keep my distance til
The seasons changed at will
I see you again
Before the sun turns red

Oh, my summer friend
Can’t wait to see you again
Again
The lack of light does me in
And I don’t know where to begin
Just let the sun shine
On my summer friend

Dead cold, deadly lethargy
I’m told, it’s no good for me
To stay inside all day
But I can’t get away
From you that soon
It feels like ten more full moons

Oh, my summer friend
Can’t wait to see you again
Again
The lack of light does me in
And I don’t know where to begin
Just let the sun shine
On my summer friend
