Porch Swing Season
“I dragged the old swing out of the shed, dusted off the chains and sat there until dark. Nothing else happened, and that was the point.”

Lyrics
Dragged the old swing out of the shed Dusted off the chains Painted it the color of the sky Before the evening rains Lemonade is sweating on the rail The lightning bugs are few But the porch light's burning gold again And I'm saving a seat for you It's porch swing season, come sit by me Let the creaking boards keep time It's porch swing season, easy and free Your hand tucked right in mine Let the world go rolling by Underneath the evening sky It's porch swing season, darling Stay a while with me Neighbors wave from down the road The crickets tune their strings You hum a tune you can't recall And somehow that's everything A blanket for the cooling air A cat asleep by your feet There's nowhere else I'd rather be Than this slow and sweetest beat It's porch swing season, come sit by me Let the creaking boards keep time It's porch swing season, easy and free Your hand tucked right in mine Let the world go rolling by Underneath the evening sky It's porch swing season, darling Stay a while with me Years from now, when we are gray We'll still swing this way Counting stars and fireflies At the end of every day It's porch swing season, come sit by me Let the creaking boards keep time It's porch swing season, easy and free Your hand tucked right in mine Let the world go rolling by Underneath the evening sky It's porch swing season, darling Stay a while with me Stay a while with me Porch swing season, easy and free
