Facilitate this fall of August The autumn winds, the summer forfeits The bittern's boom will disavow All the time we've wasted now Fabricate this borderline Between the fire and the focus As the wren churr through the pine I doubt you will ever notice And I know I've got my stubborn ways The shovelers soon fly away While this winter moon will disavow All the time we've wasted now Formulate and fortify The spring becomes our alibi The eider's plume will disavow All the time we've wasted now And I know you've got your subtle ways The hooded crow is here to stay But this idle June will disavow All the time we've wasted now
