Porch Swing Summer (версия 2)

Verse

Porch swing creaks at exactly 4 pm

Grandma's rocker, worn smooth as skin

A screen door hinges soft against its frame

Catching crickets, holding summer time

Ice tea sweats in a Mason jar full cold

Someone's calling but I ain't leaving yet

The field out back got wildflowers blooming

Bees keep coming round for what they can't own

I don't mind the heat, it feels like mine alone

Nothing left to do but swing and watch the sun lean low

Pre-Chorus

So let the porch light burn a little late tonight

Chorus

It's a porch swing summer, soft and slow

Cedar dust on my feet, I don't wanna go

Grandma's stories keep coming back around again

Every rock of this swing feels like forgiveness from an old friend

Verse

The swing chain creaks like it's trying to speak in tongues

I've heard the same three songs a thousand times before

Still can't help humming when the breeze comes through the trees

Grandma's laughter always catches me at the door

There's a spot right under the eaves where it leans just right

A secret place only sunbeams get to see

Pre-Chorus

So let the porch light burn a little late tonight

Chorus

It's a porch swing summer, soft and slow

Cedar dust on my feet, I don't wanna go

Grandma's stories keep coming back around again

Every rock of this swing feels like forgiveness from an old friend

Bridge

Maybe it ain't just the swing that's staying put

Maybe every summer's trying to teach me something true

This porch been here longer than I ever will

But it still holds up — one board at a time

I'm not built for breaking, even when the sky turns gold

So I'll sit tight and let this rocking chair hold

Chorus

It's a porch swing summer, soft and slow

Cedar dust on my feet, I don't wanna go

Grandma's stories keep coming back around again

Every rock of this swing feels like forgiveness from an old friend
