When I your clod-womb you suckled and bulbed
did you forget me so soon?
you unaware I was your air, jaded and green you fled
you forgot me so soon
can you hear the harlot-calling summer
return to me after bloom and fall
for a flush of blue to entice your groom; for a blush of leaf for the birds to thieve
did you forget me so soon?
"summer orchestrates its song" so you said, and upped and left though the song rang on
I cloyed, your legs wrapped around me
can you hear the harlot-calling summer?
return to me after fall and bloom
hear the harlot-singing summer
come back to me after bloom and fall
did you forget me so soon?
you unaware I was your air, jaded and green you fled
you forgot me so soon
can you hear the harlot-calling summer
return to me after bloom and fall
for a flush of blue to entice your groom; for a blush of leaf for the birds to thieve
did you forget me so soon?
"summer orchestrates its song" so you said, and upped and left though the song rang on
I cloyed, your legs wrapped around me
can you hear the harlot-calling summer?
return to me after fall and bloom
hear the harlot-singing summer
come back to me after bloom and fall
