Ben Jacobs songs

I live in Arizona, so we don't really celebrate summer much here. But in other parts of the world, where Winter is a wet, cold, dreary time, they do. This is for poeple who live in that kind of place.

The Wine of Summer

We aren’t botheredBy the twinklingOf the great square of the horseThe smell of wood smokeand woolen scratchingHasn’t wearied us on cool times yet

Because we took our shoes offWhen the days were longerAnd the water bearer blessed us from on highWe rolled on the soft grass‘till our backs were prickledAnd we’d drank the wine of summer‘till the bottles all ran dry

Cold OrionUnbelovedCaught behind the haze of sleet and snowAnd no furs or steamingMugs or glassesHold the stuff we need to make us warm

Like whentook our shoes offWhen the days were longerAnd the water bearer blessed us from on highWe rolled on the soft grass‘till our backs were prickledAnd we’d drank the wine of summer‘till the bottles all run dry

Come now archerWith the great shieldPour the sun on us in molten dropsLet hot winds take usPast the dark swanTo the verdant pasturesWhere your arrow dropped

Where we’ll take our shoes offNow that days are longerAnd the water bearer blesses us from way on highWe’ll roll on the soft grass‘till our backs are prickledAnd we’ll drink the wine of summer‘till the bottles all run dry (x2)
