lyrics

VERSE 1:
Six weeks
and it's been seven weddings
and it's summer's like these
that I try forgetting
that my youth is waning
and my friends are married
and if they're not
well, they might as well be

CHORUS:
Dog days have settled down on me
like a black lag on the floor
ain't no reason to feel down and lonely
I would go outside if I could only crack that door

VERSE 2:
And I'm not saying
I wanna fall in love
I just wanna feel
like I'm not so stuck
Just wanna call someone
who just might wanna call me back
and hang on my couch
and maybe watch some TV

CHORUS

VERSE 3:
Six weeks
and I'm starting to wonder
is there an end
to this Indian Summer
but I feel that breeze
so this boredom's ending
but September
feels like doom, impending

CHORUS

Micah is one of my favorite songwriters around, and also an all around gentleman and scholar. Both his solo work and his work with Two Cow Garage seem to work their way into my regular music rotation with ease. doug shaw
