Summerlea
Fred Eaglesmith

Night time's falling on the summerleanand suppers getting cold.nIts the second time in as manynweeks he hasn't shown.nHe's probably chasing some old steernacross some prairie storm.nWhen she asks him he'll just shrug andnsay that's the way things go.nnBut he only gets into town twice a monthnand he gets out as fast as he can.nHe don't have a phone so she can't callnhim up and she never knows where he is.nHe smells like horses and he chews ntobacco and he cusses and he spits.nShe's been in love a couple of times nbefore, but never quite like this.nnNext month it'll be those damned oldnrodeos and fairs.nHe'll be gone for six weeks straight nto God only knows where.nAnd he won't win any money and worst nthan that, he won't care. nWhen she asks him, he'll just smilenhe had a real good time out there.nnBut he only gets into town twice a monthnand he gets out as fast as he can.nHe don't have a phone so she can't callnhim up and she never knows where he is.nHe smells like horses and he chews ntobacco and he cusses and he spits.nShe's been in love a couple of times nbefore, but never quite like this.nnWell he stops his horse, to get a lightnand the water pores of his hat.nHes been out in the rain most of the nightnand ought to be getting back.nHis been thinking about the colour of nher hair and the touch of her hand.nAnd the way she quietly smiles whenevernshe looks at him.nnBut he only gets into town twice a monthnand he gets out as fast as he can.nHe don't have a phone so he can't callnher up and he never knows where she is.nShe smells like flowers and perfumenand tobacco and gin.nHe's been in love a couple of times nbefore, but never quite like this.nHe's been in love a couple of times nbefore, but never quite like this.nnNight time's falling on the summerleanand suppers getting cold.
