Indian Summer
Words by Becky Shaw & Michael Lorant; Music by Becky Shaw

I’ve been hoping for an Indian summer
Warm, late sun through turning leaves
I’m wishing on the milky way
That this love would take hold

Before the clouds set in
Before the cold pushes us inside
Before the rain sweeps across this ground and
Washes it down

I’ve been looking at the weather maps,
Watching the stars, and the changing moon
But yesterday the weather girl said, better keep your fingers crossed
It might be weeks, or just one day …

Before the clouds set in
Before the cold pushes us inside
Before the rain sweeps across this ground and
Washes it down

Every season has its time
Can you feel it coming?
Any day now, the wind will change
So tell me – will we bend, or will we break?
Should I put my heart back in my sleeve?

I’ve been running my fingers ‘cross the frozen dirt
Waiting for a change
Just a little more sun on the ground
and I could trace the lines of your face

So I’ve been hoping for an Indian summer
Warm, late sun through turning leaves
I’m wishing on the milky way
That this love would take hold

Before the clouds set in
Before the cold pushes us inside
Before the rain sweeps across this ground and
Washes it down
Washes it down
Washes it down …
