[Verse 1]
A massive pine tree-taller than a two-story building-stands in the parking lot;
Listening to the sound of waves lapping against the shore beyond it,
I surrender myself to the slightly crisp morning air.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The sound of a passing car now and then otherwise aside from that, there is nothing.
[Chorus 1]
A pale blue sky without a single cloud,
The buzzing and chirping of insects,
Feeling the summer slipping away,
Letting my thoughts drift to the passing summer.
[Verse 2]
The distant drone of farm machinery,
The diesel engine of the shuttle bus roaring to life
Signaling that it is time to depart.
A fire truck’s siren wails.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It was quiet just moments ago, but the morning noise is growing.
[Chorus 2]
A pale blue sky without a single cloud,
The buzzing and chirping of insects,
Feeling the summer slipping away,
Letting my thoughts drift to the passing summer.
[Verse 3]
Birds gather from somewhere,
Announcing to the world that morning has arrived.
A woman arriving for work speaks aloud;
Her morning greeting is “Good morning.”
[Pre-Chorus 3]
The birds’ singing grows even louder.
The bus at the stop makes its engine rumble.
[Chorus 3]
A pale blue sky without a single cloud,
The buzzing and chirping of insects,
Feeling the summer slipping away,
Letting my thoughts drift to the passing summer.
[Bridge]
In moments like this, the world feels peaceful,
And the unchanging rhythm of daily life is right here.
[Final Chorus]
A pale blue sky without a single cloud,
The buzzing and chirping of insects,
Feeling the summer slipping away,
Letting my thoughts drift to the passing summer.
[Outro]
