lyrics

The fireflies turned dim when August came to die,
The harvest was forgotten,
Dirty beauty cast aside,
Oh lady, won’t you know me, though you’re far from my side?
I keep a sprig of rose moss in my pocket--
Only green thing that hasn’t died

So meet me in July when the rain stops,
Freeze with me when December comes,
Oh, thaw with me again in April,
Meet me in the river next July,

The sun caught fire in May,
But he never matched our heat,
Oh lady, when I’m lonesome
You’re the only soul I wanna meet

So meet me in July before the leaves fall,
I’ll melt your eyes when winter comes,
I smell you on the breeze in April,
Don’t forget about July,
Meet me in the river next July
