If this is summer then I’m having none of it
A week in Arkansas won’t hack it
And all the arguments against it
Don’t amount to the smoker’s ash. It

Really doesn’t matter about the schools and the jobs
My dream is just to listen to these
Humming in the air around you
You don’t even have to speak

We’ve learned all we need from history
What else is there to know
If you can’t answer that I’ve failed
The light is singing to the grass

Look the kids                  Love                     are playing
