Mark Heard - All Too Soon

Red ball of sun
Falters until it's out of reach

Head in my hand
Stranded on some deserted beach

Starlight brushes my shoulder

Tonight I'm suddenly older

All too soon Summer is over

All too soon the planet is colder

All too soon heartbeats are slower

All too soon the season is sleeping

All too soon the willows are weeping

All too soon clockhands are creeping
All too soon

Moon on the rise

Gold hall of beeswax rolling in space

Wind in my eyes

Caught in a draft of time and place

No crowds - moon and me only

Surf pounds, I'm suddenly lonely

All too soon Summer is over

All too soon the planet is colder

All too soon heartbeats are slower

All too soon the season is sleeping

All too soon the willows are weeping

All too soon clockhands are creeping
All too soon

I love this life slipping through my hands

I close my eyes

Ribbon of road
Hazy ahead in taillight red

Radio on
Weaving a memory with musical thread

Feelings gush like a geyser

I think I'm older and wiser

All too soon Summer is over

All too soon the planet is colder

All too soon heartbeats are slower

All too soon
All too soon the season is sleeping

All too soon the willows are weeping

All too soon clockhands are creeping
All too soon
