Have no urge to write with this weather coming in. It's made me feel strangely melancholic too. It's like the last days of a holiday romance when you know you're not going to see them again. We're going to be in cold weather very soon and I feel like there's been no summer at all.
Summer, you old Indian Summer You're the tear that comes after June time's laughter You see so many dreams that don't come true Dreams we fashioned when summertime was new You are here to watch over Some heart that is broken By a word that somebody left unspoken You're the ghost of a romance in June Going astray, fading too soon... That's why I say, Farewell to you, Indian Summer
...seem to express the very feeling you're describing.
I like the extra level of meaning added by DB playing this (again having recorded it both early and mid-career) at the venerable age of 87.

ReplyDeleteSmoni, the original lyrics to this old song...
Summer, you old Indian Summer
You're the tear that comes after June time's laughter
You see so many dreams that don't come true
Dreams we fashioned when summertime was new
You are here to watch over
Some heart that is broken
By a word that somebody left unspoken
You're the ghost of a romance in June
Going astray, fading too soon...
That's why I say,
Farewell to you, Indian Summer
...seem to express the very feeling you're describing.
