City Boy Haymaking Time Lyrics

Haymaking Time Lyrics

The first thing I saw was the sun on your skin. 

Dew on the doorstep, the
milk to take in to the house. 

A mouse running rafters, the cat running
after, to catch him a playmate. 

They tell me it's Haymaking Time
again.





The next thing I knew we were sitting apart 

You in pajamas and me with my heart on your sleeve. 

Don't go, leave
the day spoiled, wait till the egg's boiled, what's in a moment. 

Indulging in sentimentality.





You know it's not right, to
make a song and dance over night. 

You know it's not right, but you do it
anyhow. 

It's not very bright, to turn it on as you turn out the light.


It's not very bright, but you do it anyhow. 

Memories shelter in
days such as these 

Love still remembered in visions you cast with the
breeze 

Wax on the candle, sand in your sandals, they weather the seasons


Who cares about reasoning anyway. 

You know it's not right, to make
a song and dance over night. 

You know it's not right, but you do it
anyhow. 

It's not very bright, to turn it on as you turn out the light.


It's not very bright, but you do it anyhow.
