The Wine of Summer

from Blurry by The Little Miracles of Misanthropy

/

lyrics

We aren’t bothered
By the twinkling
Of the great square of the horse
The smell of wood smoke
and woolen scratching
Hasn’t wearied us on cool times yet

Because we took our shoes off
When the days were longer
And the water bearer blessed us from on high
We rolled on the soft grass
‘till our backs were prickled
And we’d drank the wine of summer
‘till the bottles all ran dry

Cold Orion
Unbeloved
Caught behind a screen of haze and snow
No furs or steaming
Mugs and glasses
Hold the stuff we need to make us warm

(chorus)

Come now archer
With the great shield
Pour the sun on us in molten drops
Let hot winds take us
Past the dark swan
To the verdant pastures
Where your arrow dropped

Where we’ll take our shoes off
Now that days are longer
And the water bearer blesses us from way on high
We’ll roll on the soft grass
‘till our backs are prickled
And we’ll drink the wine of summer
‘till the bottles all run dry (x2)
