Dog Days

from Low Flyin' Planes by Adam Klein

/

lyrics

Hung up on Cain & Abel
stuck on Bourbon Street
at your safe kitchen table
sink into the rocks beneath your feet

No need to go & wander
everything can be seen
in your mind that’s technicolor
on flat screens vicariously

I once was out there with you
in your mud & your streams
now distance empty imposition
haunts my waking dreams

I can hardly sense the surface
how quickly all can fade
the sunlight on your body
the cool refreshing shade

*Are you still burning when the fire goes out?
tell me how to make it through the dog days
hang it up or let it wear you out
I’ll take your word if you’ll say it

A facade that’s cracked & broken
it’s just a set the craftsman made
we were wrong to buy it
foolish to be afraid

Hands thrust in empty pockets
it’s a slow unsteady pace
the tin man and the soldier
in a back alley embrace

Is there a wise man or a prophet
is there a seer or a sheik
that can give strength to a lion
that’ll fortify the weak

*Are you still burning when the fire goes out?
tell me how to make it through the dog days
hang it up or let it wear you out
I’ll take your word if you’ll say it
