eat yer hat
words by fireball
April come she will
Winter came she did
Tomorrow come she will
Long nights come they have
Summer come she will
Patience come she will
April come she will
music and performance by april souza
searcy, arkansas
bass and tambourine added by fireball
When streams are ripe and peaches fat
The perfect ear
The words will hear
April she will eat her hat
In all her bluster and her storm
But not the first
And through the worst
We bear the cold and await the warm
On wings that brighten up the sky
And although
The planets slow
Tomorrow quickly she will fly
In black so deep the eyes forget
the golden rays
of summer days
The waters unfrozen and wet
To blot the ling'ring hours of night
That ever higher
Ball of fire
Summer she will spread her light
Give an inch and take a mile
Breathing deep
Through winter's sleep
Patience still alright to smile
When dreams are ripe and futures fat
The thoughts will find
The perfect mind
April she will eat her hat
