Bra** bands marchin', floats and all Trumpets of labor day All lit up As it ever would The red convertible queen waves Over a parted sea All lit up All lit up again; no beginning and no end You get there late enough, you won't have to see it startin' Leave it soon enough, you never have to see it over Get there late enough, you won't see it startin' Leave it soon enough, you'll never have to see it over The summer gra** cool 'neath my back A million stars left to count But the black In between I row The everwas and everwill A mother's voice across the dark And the sea As it everwas; no beginning and no end
