[00:21.50]If you were coming in the fall
[00:26.50]I'd brush the summer by
[00:30.50]With half a smile and half a spurn
[00:35.50]As housewives do,a fly.
[00:39.50]If I could see you in a year
[00:43.50]I'd wind the months in balls
[00:48.50]And put them each in separate drawers
[00:52.50]for fear the numbers fuse.
[00:56.50]if only centuries delayed,
[01:02.50]i'd count them on my hand,
[01:05.50]subtracting till my fingers dropped
[01:10.50]into van dieman's land.
[01:14.50]if certain, when this life was out,
[01:19.50]that yours and mine should be,
[01:23.50]i'd toss it yonder like a rind,
[01:27.50]and take eternity.
[02:06.50]Oh,If you were coming in the fall
[02:11.50]I'd brush the summer by
[02:15.50]With half a smile and half a spurn
[02:19.50]As housewives do,a fly.
[02:24.50]If I could see you in a year
[02:28.50]I'd wind the months in balls
[02:32.50]And put them each in separate drawers
[02:37.50]for fear the numbers fuse.
[02:40.50]if only centuries delayed,
[02:46.50]i'd count them on my hand,
[02:50.50]subtracting till my fingers dropped
[02:54.50]into van dieman's land.
[02:58.50]if certain, when this life was out,
[03:03.50]that yours and mine should be,
[03:07.50]i'd toss it yonder like a rind,
[03:12.50]and take eternity.
[01:40.50]--------------------
[03:15.50]but now, uncertain of the length
[03:20.50]of this, that is between,
[03:24.50]it goads me, like the goblin bee,
[03:29.50]that will not state its sting.
[03:47.50]that will not state its sting.
