July on Mute

Screen door still in the evening heat Dust hung low on the county street They pulled up slow and the whole sky blushed Like the world knew better than to rush No fireworks, no downtown noise Just crickets low in your old truck voice It was July, oh It was July, oh New Gold in the air and the radio low Your hand found light and the whole world moved Your hand found dark by the edge of the road Soft as a dart by the edge of the road Some summer shout, this one just grew It was July on you Warm glass ring on the porch rail line Dog barked once, then the whole thing quiet You said stay and I didn't fight Moon climbed up and the town went white No big scene, no big fight No bright parade Just a little July in the room it made It was July, oh New Gold in the air and the radio low Your hand found light and the whole world moved Your hand found dark by the edge of the road Soft as a dart by the edge of the road Soft as a dart by the edge of the road Some summer shout, this one just grew It was July, oh, mute It was July, oh, mute It was July, oh, mute It was July, oh, mute It was July, oh, mute It was July, oh, mute It was July, oh, mute It was July, oh, mute It was July, oh, mute It was July, oh, mute It was July, oh, mute It was July, oh, mute It was July, oh, mute
