Cornfield Summers

[Intro] Oooo Ooooo [melodic sound of child whistling] [Verse 1] Burning yellow days, racing shaded soil trails within a stalk-lined maze... Oooo Ooooo [Chorus 1] All the late and all the soon stumbles in the shifting shade... Through cornfield summers of my youth, I shoot on barefoot, unafraid. [Verse 2] Smell of dust and leaves, Tassels whisper, rasp and sway, bent by vagrant breeze. Oooo Ooooo [Chorus 2] All the late and all the soon stumbles in the shifting shade.... Through cornfield summers of my youth, I romp on barefoot, unafraid. [melodic sound of child whistling] [Verse 3] Toes track dirt, pristine -- arms fend off long lashing leaves, Eyes squint dappled green. Oooo Ooooo [Chorus 3] All the late and all the soon stumbles in the shifting shade.... Through cornfield summers of my youth, I skip on barefoot, unafraid. [Bridge] Shoeless, Shirtless, Careless, Timeless, Ooooo Ooooo oooo [Verse 4] Drying golden husks, endless haze of cobalt sky, Gray stones, roots, sand rust. Oooo Ooooo [melodic sound of child whistling] [Chorus 4] All the late and all the soon falters in the filtered shade -- through cornfield summers of my youth I press on barefoot, unafraid. [Outro] Oooo I trot, I gallop, unafraid Oooo ooooo [melodic sound of child whistling; repeat, fade out]
