...Go sit by the river, no, make that sit in it...

lyrics

If I was July, I would ripple with light.
Eat ice cream all day, while riding a bike
Roll down a hill through a field of blue flowers
Read a book on a porch while the afternoon showers.
If I was July, I would ripple with light.
Eat ice cream all day, while riding a bike

If I were July I would wait until night
Then hang up a sky like a heart full of lights
Shimmering stars, so far and so mellow
The world’s warmest moon, not silver but yellow.
If I were July I would wait ‘til the night
Then hang up a sky like a heart full of lights

And the grass that you lie in
No sign of Orion
No need for a blanket
Just lie there and thank it

If I were tomorrow I’d sleep until ten
Have coffee, fresh berries on a pancake and then
Go sit by the river, no make that sit in it
And dream about snow, but just for a minute
If I were tomorrow I’d sleep until ten
Have coffee, fresh berries on a pancake and then…

If I was tonight, in July, in the pines
I might get sleepy and drift somewhere fine.
Like the moon in the sky, the way that it shines
So full of this summer, so full of this life.
If I was tonight, in July, in the pines
I might get sleepy and drift somewhere fine.

If I were July I would wait until night
Then hang up a sky like a heart full of lights
