As we reach the peak of summer And the index swelters Our skin wet Dripping in sweat We curse the sun And pray for the night We long for the days Overcast and grey When the trees pallor And their leaves scatter The satisfying Crunch Crunch Crunch And walks through the park Sidewalks mimic the sunset light Suddenly our lives are painted Orange, yellow, red I'll mutter "I'd like to see autumn in New York some day Evening coffee with you in a café" Pedestrians strolling by New jackets in polyester, cotton, and wool Darker denim and Show off the boots In the summer months In the southern states we long for We pray for We wait for A breezy chill And time to **** With the ones we love As night falls And the stars rise The air is stained with smoke Fires are stoked The fireplace tokes Take my July Give me October Summer is plain Autumn is for lovers
