Mark Heard All Too Soon
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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 clock hands are creeping
[Verse 2]
Moon on the rise, gold ball 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
[Chorus]
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 clock hands are creeping
[Bridge]
I love this life slipping through my hands
I close my eyes
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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 clock hands are creeping
All too soon
