Hey Hey

Summer’s almost over and the leaves are turning grey
The sign out on the driveway says “We’re Closed Until Next May”
I wish that I could hold my breath and hang on to this day,
But the geese are flying overhead, guess we’re all on our way.
Hey Hey!

My ninety year old neighbor’s outside digging in the dirt
Planting bulbs like tiny diamonds deep down in the earth
Who knows if we’ll be here next year to see her handy work,
But just to make the effort baby, therein lies the worth.
Hey Hey, hey hey hey!

This world can spin as fast as an old 45 going 78
Don’t worry about the words, just hang on to your hat
Grab your dancing shoes and don’t look back

This world can spin so fast, the unexpected lands in your lap
It might be a forehead slap, or it just might make you grin
So gather up your courage and let it in

A silver dollar moon is filling up this autumn sky
I’m laying on the picnic table thinking about good-byes
The stars aren’t coming out tonight, but I know they’re alright
Cause faith and hope they carry me when things aren’t in plain sight.
Hey Hey
