Lyrics
Last Day Of Spring
written by: keith johnston
Blind lines defined
Blurred edges erased
The last day of spring
Is summer’s yesterday
Clearly we are not
Supposed to say anything
Cause what the last folks said
Caused a funeral pyre
A myna bird crawls in the
Window of the room and says
Now we approach
The last day of spring
Blind lines defined
Blurred edges erased
The last day of spring
Is summer’s yesterday
Two tiny doves play in
A dust garden
From the ashes of the
Funeral pyre
A myna bird sings
The song of the tomb
And says
Now we approach
The last day of spring
You could not stand
Up so far
To the memories
You hold down low
You cuddle up with
Your own thoughts
And how it was
So long a go ooooh
Laundered memories
Tall fish you caught
Laundered memories
Tall fish that you caught
Three fish live in
A certain pond
Right or wrong
Some of them have gone
The fishermen come
And cast out their nets
For the other fish it’s
The last day of spring
Blind lines defined
Blurred edges erased
I see the last day of spring
Is summer’s yesterday
Summer’s yesterday
Blind lines defined
Blurred edges erased
Edges erased
You cuddle up with
Your own thoughts
And how it was
So long a go ooooh
Laundered memories
Tall fish you caught
