Sugar Has Settled In The Lemonade

from from Blue & White notebooks by Tom Brosseau

lyrics

The rooster on the the weather vane has started to move
He can spin in all directions but he can’t fly the coop
Already the sun’s begun to sink
All that’s left in the sky is purple and pink
The sugar has settled in the lemonade
In the crystal pitcher with the wooden arm on the serving tray

Bugs are fluttering in the patio light
Where there’s something coming from the wind chime
It’s hot and it’s still inside the house
Got the swamp cooler on to cool me down
I turn on the evening news
From outside it appears as though the room is blue

The neighborhood kids forgot a bucket of chalk
Out on the side of the sidewalk
And the little kitty’s pussy footing around
The garage a couple doors down
Where some people are
Outside underneath the hood of a car
