Lyrics
The road is made of water Where the heat comes up in waves The afternoon is melting In the gold of summer days The fields are pale and quiet And the sky is wide and white I watch the distance shimmer In the long hot light Shimmer, shimmer on the road Heat haze carry me home Shimmer, shimmer, soft and slow Everything is gold and the tides come and go The cicadas hum their lullaby In the dry and dusty trees A paper fan, a glass of lemon And a lazy little breeze I close my eyes a moment And the whole world seems to sway Like a dream that I am floating in Through the middle of the day Shimmer, shimmer on the road Heat haze carry me home Shimmer, shimmer, soft and slow Everything is gold and the tides come and go When the evening finally comes The air will turn to blue And I will still remember This slow and golden view Shimmer, shimmer on the road Heat haze carry me home Shimmer, shimmer, soft and slow Everything is gold and the tides come and go Shimmer on the road Carry me home
